[QUOTE="Random_Facts, post: 1148083, member: 30383"] Alright I agree misloads are a problem these days in every hub from big to small. From all the years I've been at UPS, there is just zero motivation on the ground floor. If you do a great job, you never hear about it. If you show up every day, you don't even hear about it. If you don't misload for over a month, guess what? Nothing. Now management has been drilling in our heads, "everyone pulls the same amount of work". Which clearly isn't true, but always makes me laugh when they say it out loud. People who are pulling 3 trucks and 800 boxes or lower, should be getting 1 misload max. (zero of course would be a lot better). Then you have those people who are pulling 4 trucks sometimes 5 trucks with a piece volume level of 1700-2000. Which is a mind boggling number I know. But when they get 2 or less, the supervisors go all ape on them. Oh you cost the company extreme money! Then they go on their usual rant. Not to mention if you have a mean/negative driver. Yes they do exist. The ones that come in and literally as soon as they step onto their package car it's: "My load quality sucks, why is my loader stacked out?, and my personal favorite I'm going to have to redo this all over (chucks out boxes left and right). Want a better load quality? Try being more polite to your low wage loader, more than likely they are doing everything in their power to do a great job and succeed at it. Granted their are some who could care less about anything and everything, you know the kind. Throw it in now, later, and more. But if you see your loader doing his/her very best, encouraging words and helpful tips will make life easier for you and us in the long run. [/QUOTE]
