[QUOTE="DS, post: 770393, member: 556"] At our hub we have 2 commit times,domestic express is 10:30,int'l is 12 noon. All express is [U]supposed[/U] to be loaded at the front of the car.We do not have PAS or EDD so its basically up to the preload to insure the commits are segregated correctly.We have a new center manager that is coming down hard on drivers who have late air.Heres an example of what happens all too often.I get to my area at around 9:40 am with 7 or 8- 10:30 commits and finish them around 10:15.I now have 15 noon commits to deal with and a few bulk stops with 50+ pkgs.I start to deliver my 12:00 deliveries and all goes well until I get to that home depot stop that is loaded at the back with 65 pieces only to find a domestic express at [U]the bottom of the pile.[/U](this happened to me Thursday) Since preload is never held accountable,our center manager says it's up to us drivers to go through our loads at 10:15 in case there are any 10:30 commits buried in our load.This is often impossible with a car with 250-300 boxes crammed into it. We have a meeting tomorrow morning and I would appreciate any ideas any of you veteran drivers may have to solve this problem.In my opinion with all the technology at hand (we already have telematics) UPS should be able to tell us before we leave the bldg,exactly how many domestic and int'l commits we have and where they are going.As it is now it ends up being the drivers word against the preloaders,and the center manager seems to think we are just being irresponsible. Please,any advice to how any of you have dealt with this issue could help so I can have something to throw at the center manager tomorrow(besides my diad) [/QUOTE]
