[QUOTE="chev, post: 432863, member: 6761"] We get paid by the hour and If the sup tells him to wait and he does not, he can get a letter for failure to follow procedure. I just don't understand drivers that do this. Pull time means nothing if a sup tells him to wait. Simply refer the sups name to whomever questions your late pull and let those supes fight it out between themselves. I Always let the responsibility fall on the sup. Work as directed. Some of my fellow feeder drivers feel the need to hurry to leave one destination to arive early at the next. That way, if they have a long wait for the next load, they get a nice long nap.:happy-very: Come on vette. You know damn well pony did not mean actual possession of the vehicle. So you are saying it is ok to force a feeder driver to load and then drive 2,3, maybe 4 hours to get such load to it's destination? Bull crap. Have you ever driven a feeder? Are you aware of the level of alertness and concentration it takes to arrive at our destination safely? You think it is all fun and games. No big deal. Just drive the truck. I would like you to do it after being exhausted from loading a trailer and tell me it is fair. This is a matter of safety. A driver must be fully alert and ready to do the job he is required. DRIVE. The Harrisburg hub used to try to pull that crap with us. Our center manager called and gave them holy hell and told them under no circumstance were we to load trailers. Never loaded another trailer. Now this is not to say I will not help a pt'er put irregs in and clean up and end of sort, because many of us do it all the time, but I'll be dammed if I'm getting in that trailer and actually loading for an hour or two because the sort is short handed all the time.
