[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 5042758, member: 77939"] To all, Fact is.....its a Hub function. Fact is....you can't put up what's not available. Fact is.....you can't put up a load retainer for a load on a pad that is A. not there, B. Has no load stand, on and on and on. Fact is....finding a load retainer can be/is quite time consuming and let me assure you.....that extra time is not built into your ON TIME FEEDER NETWORK departure time. Fact is....UPS isn't the real world....however.....it is what it is. True, it is the feeder drivers ultimate responsibility as far as legality. This is where it gets complicated. None of you guys(especially the condescending 2 mil guy) mentioned any time references. We don't have load retainers just piled up everywhere. Fact is.... the process has taken me an hour to complete with no stealing time stuff...you leave 1 hour past departure and you become famous....especially after that whole trailer misses service. Now, let me assure you I realize that's not my problem and hey, if they care let them blah blah. Example: Let's say you have a set already built but not sealed....say two 50%er's.....open the doors(roll up pups) and no load retainer or net NOT deployed....what to do? Break em down, take to an empty dock and complete the task? Find 2 load stands, retainers and proceed? How long is this going to take? Let me assure you.....a long time(relatively). That said.....why is this happening? It seems to be company wide. Is it illegal? If so, who has made this decision? And why? For me, the conversation generally stops at it's a Hub function. Really at legality. There's your genesis to the problem and Federal enforcement. Pretty simple....but yet. This in the same mindset of clearance lights, DOT inspections, registrations etc. I have seen many, many times drivers instructed to pull a load with illegal, no go faults. Often heard: "We'll pay the fine....just get it there...". Keeping in mind these are the very same people making the Hub decisions. I guarantee this is happening with 1000's of loads everyday.....why? These are deliberately illegal, negligent Corporate decisions. Right? Because they know it's happening....right? A simple audit at departure and destination would confirm such....right? And we didn't even mention contractors....and it's connection? How about the folks on the other end that open those doors....
