[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 983072, member: 18708"] This is a bit short-sighted. I agree about sups auditing loads, but UPS and it's huge profits fail to see that, and work the bare minimum of supervisors, and it's impossible for that to occur. Secondly, have you never made a mistake? Yes one misload, ONE mistake can make or break YOUR day (selfish hourly), however that seems like a bit of a petty grievance , when you are making $46/hr on that misload, and that is probably close to 4x that of your average preloader. You're talking as though UPSs expectations of the preloader are reasonable. Preloaders are crushed with far more packages than are acceptable and have to deal with it. The expectations are asinine, much like yours, as a driver. If you have ever worked the preload you would know this. Fourthly, in most operations I have worked (several different preloads), there is often not one person doing a preload pull, but there can be helpers. Therefore it is impossible to ascertain who misload. On top of the previous issues, what about waking up at 1 or 3am every day? It can take a very serious toll on someones health, and certainly does for concentration. I suggest you check out any of the case studies on sleep deprivation and shift-work, I have done plenty of research. Beyond that, who's to say the PAS system is perfect? I've seen a number of cases where yes, the preloader was at fault for not double checking the label, but then again I have seen egregious errors that caused misloads that were not the fault of the preloader ( and yet were still assigned a "misload ) Continuing on, who's to say UPS is telling the truth regarding the misloads ? We all know supervisors and management will lie and shift blame.. ;) ...Not to say any of this is going to change [B]your[/B] mind, but it may reach someone else. [/QUOTE]
