The building where I am employed has serious deficiencies; several of our unload extendo's are totally broken, to the point where, unless directed to by a superior, I will not put trailers on and will not send anyone under my supervision into. We still make production, so no one cares at this point - but it is an extreme safety issue, which I have raised with everyone from fellow part-time supervisors to division managers. The fact is, despite grandstanding, no one cares - actions speak louder than words, and the actions I see say, very clearly, "we do not care".
Ok, so that is the extendos. The yard where we move around trailers is a joke, as it is so tightly wrapped around the building, you cannot put longboxes on certain doors, nevermind a TFVP 53 footer - that is an animal unto itself, that the feeder guys can barely maneuver into place with two open doors.
Let's add in that the front door to the building doesn't unlock properly, so that customers call the building to ask us to open the door; the cars are packed so tightly together in 3, 4, or 5 car areas that all the other drivers in an area have to wait for the first car to leave to get out; and, let's finish with the fact that belts move at different speeds - so, door 3 will unload packages at a much faster rate than door 8 or 9.
Short answer: No, not maintained in a safe, efficient, clean and neat way. And, yet, the incredible work force (most of them, not all) and supervisors (only a few, the rest are crap) we have, make it work every day. Yay, operations.
