When/if you come back work at a pace that wont tear your knees, back, rotator cuffs etc up because this job WILL. Ask your fellow top seniority drivers. They'll tell you. Unfortunately, too few take it seriously until they tear or break something up that's attached to their body.
I've got lots of mileage on my knees already and that's why I passed up the ft spot I got offered, have to get surgery on both, sports when I was younger and cycling has done it to me, the job isn't helping, I can be swollen up and still jam it out even when I tell myself I'm just gonna chill and have a nice day, I've had many many drivers the same exact advise and I just can't get myself to do it
Just remember the faster you go and the earlier you get done the more stops they will give ya. Only hurt yourself by going to fast. They don't care about you and how fast you go, they will keep stickinng it up your ass if you do that everyday. Ask any driver on here about that approach and they will tell you what the deal with that is.
If, they were closed and no one was waiting there especially for that next day air delivery.
Hate to be the one to break it to ya then, but if you don't slow down you will only be able to work here a few years and never get anywhere near a decent pension. Im not being a smartazz or anything but those are just the facts and the gods honest truth. I respect the fact that your a hustler but ya gotta think smart brother if you want to do this job and have somewhat of a decent career as far as the number of years you want and expectations of how long you want to do this for. Slow down and retire later or go fast and retire early crippled, those are your 2 choices and your only 2 choices. This job aint no joke dude, it can leave you crippled if you work stupid and not smart.
For a 8 year employee, who is caught up on how much work he does, your posts scream of showing off/ bragging about your production. If I could suggest anything to you would you listen? I get your in a tough spot, but with all you know in your posts you should have known better! I thought you said your center manager said it was bs, so fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me! If you know you can't slow down, or won't, it's just a matter of time before you pin yourself I'm a corner. Is it worth your job? Only you can demonstrate this if you get yours back!
Or leave someone else's child crippled when you run over them as you burn up your routes to make some sup look good.
Brother, I would keep those delivery notices for those NI stops and documentation of the other issues in a safe place at home. That's priceless insurance. Stupid sups.
Yeah, I have a list of that stuff.
?
All dishonesty at its finest and a your word against their word situation. All offenses you could be fired for. Hope your sup gives you money to pay your bills while you wait to get your job back.
Unless, by chance a pt time SUP pulled your manifest for the day and did a load quality audit, marking that section 1000 hin pkg was loaded in section 1000. (Not that everyone does load quality audits in every blgd anymore.)Why should my personal pride be affected because my dispatcher is a dumb
Now, supposing one was going to have a late air stop, and, supposing one didn't mind screwing the customer or falsifying documents, one could simply go into the details of said stop and mark the package as not found and deliver it later in the day.
I'm not suggesting anyone do this mind you, I'm just saying some lies are much harder to prove then others.
Unless this driver was being watched and the sups went through the truck and documented the air stops. Now the driver covers it up with the details button. Dishonesty for sure, and my recommendation is do it by the book, and you will sleep better each night. Your shop steward is not going to enjoy the position you put him in.Why should my personal pride be affected because my dispatcher is a dumb
