Got a warning letter. Should I grieve it or try to talk with management first?

[QUOTE="freehoodies, post: 4616560, member: 80887"] 1. I circled the part i was referencing. 2. I probably wasnt clear enough, thats on me. I did not want to leave without a full tank or a gas card on me because I dont trust that i will get one sent out in a timely manner. Also that seems like a stupid thing to do. So if my tank isnt at least 3/4 full I always make sure i either have a gas card or I fill up before I take off. I was told to fill up my tank and then to bring back the gas card before beginning my deliveries. It might have been the only one, I dont know. 3. It kind of is. There is a contract which is legally binding. We have stewards representing us like a sort of jailhouse lawyer. We have arbitrators for judges. Filing a grievance is like pressing charges. Theres alot of similarities. But the point about not costing the company money is kind of a moot point IMO, just seems weird to announce that the current situation is going to cause delays, then getting pissed at me when there are delays. If I don’t get out there until 10:20 and i have 4 stops with 10:30 commit times and at least one is 10 minutes away from another (the actual situation) I cant get them all off in time. If i take an extra 5-10 minutes to make sure I have all my air before I leave then i risk missing all of them. If thats what will keep my ass covered ill do it, no problem. I don’t want to be the guy always bringing little problems I should be able to figure out myself to management, but if I keep doing it eventually they will realize im on top of it and just leave it alone. Just to clarify though, if im for sure going to be late to deliver an air (and ive already notified the center and covered my ass), do i still just run that out and skip everything else? I figured if its late by 1 minute or 100 it doesnt matter so I took the time to get the ground for the stop off as well so I wouldn’t have to come back. If thats wrong I wont do that again. [/QUOTE]
