[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 4109942, member: 76548"] This is exactly right. That's where a note left on the driver's seat is a simple solution - "Hey couldn't fit _____ here, so it's here instead", takes 20 seconds, and saves the driver a ton of aggravation. My loader did this everyday for all 3 of the trucks he loaded, in addition to splitting the belt for everyone because he was at the top, and it made our days much easier. He was never asked to do this - he just did it. This kid really cares if he does a good job every day, and he's one of the 2 or 3 best loaders in the building. That's why he get's holiday tips and gifts from his drivers, including the cover guys. It doesn't go unnoticed when somebody cares about their job, and it's effects on how well you do yours, as the next guy down the line. All that said, he is not my loader anymore. My new bid is not in his set, and my new loader blows. He is a cover driver too, which makes it all the more annoying - he :censored:ing knows better. He just doesn't give a :censored:. Which is understandable, as I'm sure he wants to be on the road, and not loading a truck at 4am for someone else to go make almost $40 an hour, while he makes his $15 building rate. But those are the breaks - do your :censored:ing job right...which means to the best of your ability, when all the :censored: out of your control is factored in, you've done your best to control what you could - how much you gave a :censored:.
