Had this happen unloading my air in building at 7:45. Ground letter slide down shelf under the lip loaded tote. Sup told me sheet as missed just be more careful. A lot easier than filing for unemployment.
How am i still getting misloads on my truck with these new misload scanners.

The fact that your Union rep asked you about it indicates they may be looking to discipline/fire you over purposely putting on miles or not running misloads.
I would be very cautious. Ask the center every time before running them, and never bury one.

OP-
You're wanting to make their failures and problems yours. Don't do that. It's not healthy and will shorten your life.
They set you up to fail.
You can make their stupidity work for you $$$$$$$.
Work as instructed, don't hide missed pkgs, be honest, text in any questions or unusual situations (making it their problem) and deliver the next package.
At some point your truck will be empty.......and at some point you will retire.
Go with the flow.

There have been multiple lawsuits over unjust termination when sups place pkg on truck after returning to the bldg. A lot less common these days since UPS paid out millions on a valid lawsuit.

They tried some sneaky stuff on me when I was in pkg cars.
They put a "shaker" on my truck. For those who don't know, a "shaker" looks like any other package on your car (the size of a loaf of bread). It senses motion/movement and, I guess, records it somehow.
The only problem was it had our customer counter shipper number on it. At the time we couldn't ship within the state. I could shake the pkg and tell it was a shaker.
I sheeted it as missed, handed to the center manager with a witness and asked him not to do that anymore.
This was in the old days before GPS and telemetrics.

Would this be like today's "salted" packages ? Only without the gps of course.

so each loader has a sup standing outside their pull scanning pieces, and you think this increases pph?
yah okay guy; i'm sure you saw one sup doing something stupid with one loader, but it's not physically possible for a systemic issue to exist as you describe, nor would it benefit management in the way you're implying

I don't get the big deal with misloads. I always just scan them the minute I find then, answer the y or n question if I can deliver them.
Then do them when I'm 100% done with MY work unless it makes sense to do it at some other point. If no one contacts me to get the one out of the question for me to deliver it sits on the truck, I told them I had it...most of the time my phone will ring and theres someone coming to get it.
Am I doing it right? It's not like anyone trained me on it. I've seen a lot of different answers on here

If you doesn't get delivered, you have to sheet it as Missed.

Ok thanks, never sheeted a single thing missed yet. I'll ask someone how.
Every package has to be sheeted. I'm surprised nobody told you that.

I knew that, I didn't realize scanning the misload didn't count as that.
I wouldn't know a damn thing if I didn't hang out here. It's sad.
When you scan it as a misload. It's sends a message to the office and takes that package out of the other drivers DIAD so he isn't looking for it.
Unless the supervisors are encouraging the practice of scanning & stacking, instead of telling preloaders to do it the way it's supposed to be done.

Do you even work on preload with this new system? The scanners are only tied to the trucks by scanning the barcode on the back of the vehicle. Said sup can and does go down the belt, scanning piles of packages and letting the loader do his normal job of loading. During this time other packages can and do get intermingled in the pile resulting in misloads that got "scanned" into the truck.
You know what, this is the exact reason why I don't bother explaining issues to management, you just put blinders on to what is actually happening daily and just read reports as if nothing is going on.
I suppose the 4 FT sups that were terminated in the Roswell center for stealing UPS safety swag by ordering it for personal use and using their personal AMEX cards for non approved purchases didn't happen either? Maybe you should tell them that since they've been fired for over a week.
Yeah, let's talk about integrity. pfft
