In that scenario, I would then hand you the keys to my pkg car and drive yours in empty while you completed my dispatch. Seniority rules in every aspect of the operation and lower seniority drivers DONT have a say whether they help or not.
Out in my parts, if you open your mouth and make a demand, you're taking the whole thing.
Peace.
Lower seniority drivers might not have a say in their having to help but it sure isn`t you telling them to do it. I can tell you exactly how it would have gone down between us back in my package days.
1) I come help you and take a big chunk of your nicer stuff so that I can deliver it without a whole lot of concern about where I`m delivering as far as claims and such. You say thanks.
2) I come help you and you give me your crap area because you think your seniority can dictate what I take. You find it service crossed in your truck the next day because I didn`t feel comfortable dr`ing it in such a questionable area. You give me a dirty look.
3) I come help you and you try your "hand you the keys to your pkg car" routine and I promptly leave you standing their hold your little monkey dink in your hand as I drive away with none of your work. I`ll take my chances back at the barn as I explain that you threatened me and created a hostile workplace to the point that I felt I had to leave. I give you the finger.
4) You actually get me to take your keys and somehow get my keys from me with a minimum of broken bones and you drive away leaving me with the whole shebang upon which I promptly call the center and tell them you said "friend-it I quit" and stole my pkg car. I give you two middle fingers.
One scenario you get some help. The other three you get friend-ed on various levels and you find out you`re not quite the big swinging appendage you think you are out in your parts.
