[QUOTE="isonend, post: 3507797, member: 72355"] I've had it explained to me this way - loading a damaged package on a car is the same as a misload. It should never have been put on the car. Sheeting it as missed doesn't take it off a report. It actually puts it on two reports, because it's going to be processed by the damage clerk after it was already sheeted missed. And if the clerk is doing it right, he'll put in that it was discovered on car by the driver. BUt even if he doesn't, once it gets scanned in a center, that center "owns" the damage even if it happened before it got there. That's why they try to catch as many damages as they can in the unload. If you can process it before it gets scanned, the damage gets charged back to wherever the package was last scanned. And yeah, sometimes you can't tell whether something is damaged by looking at the package, and sometimes packages do get damaged in the back of the car after they're loaded. But how many times have you gone to grab a package and it has the flaps caved in, half a roll of tape holding it together, and a chunk of bent metal sticking out the side? Should never have been loaded. Sheeting it as missed and then processing it as a damage means the center has to explain it to both operations and security. [/QUOTE]
