My plan is working

[DS]

You say you want a revolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
working for free is prostitution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about production
Don't you know you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright alright
You say you got a real solution
Well you know
When you tell it to the man
You ask me for a contribution
Well you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money so bad it makes you jaded
All I can tell you is brother you've almost made it
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright alright
You say you'll change the constitution
Well you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of the late Jim Casey
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know know it's gonna be alright
Alright alright

Personally, I think it sounds stupid and childish. Several of our drivers go put their coolers, ect.... in their truck when they get to work. Whats wrong with that? You can have the preload accountable without sounding like a total ass. Give me a break.

hey when you guys bid on a driving job, did you not know that you were gonna be working long days? just curious like, sometimes it seems as if people are surprised and appalled that all of a sudden they have to work OT....

....OT is not the issue. The issue is drivers in their pkg cars before start time.

That plan could work here, I would of course need gonads to enforce it. They moved me back to 915, squeezing a little more blood out of the turnip. So when I am left with 15 air, when I can only do 10 to 12 depending, all are gone when I start. There is no help for me. People leave air on my seat, that they think I can get to better than them.
Its all good sealbasher. I agree. Its not about the preload, its about people working for free to fix a problem which should be fixed on the clock. And as long as everyone busts their butts, cheats, deviates from rules, it will all be overlooked and never fixed. But it will bite you in the arse when you least expect.
They have every technological device available to help them fire us, how about we hold them to do what they get paid for and fix the load,dispatch, and holding to union and company rules, no one works for free.
Amen

that was beautiful! almost brought a tear to my eye

Well if you are going to try for steward, maybe you should learn to spell it right first. It makes you a little more credible. Just giving you a hard time, Seal. Don't get upset.

lol

There is two drivers that show up at 7am everyday with a 8:45 start time at my center. Nobody will stop them and every once in awhile a sup or center manager will tell them to leave if I bring it to their attention. Both of these drivers are done everyday at 3:30-4:00 and they will not help another driver close to them.
OMS sends mesg. "can you help _______" and I send back "I will only if you get blank driver to come and help." All you hear is crickets "anyone anyone"

 

[cachsux]

as it goes for the customers ,i bend over backwards for mine everyday we neeed the volume

If your going to make a real sacrifice maybe you should bend over forwards.

Get a senior man to grieve the hour and 45 minutes every day. When your center manager has to start paying for these two to work off the clock everyday, IT WILL STOP!!!!

Awesome idea, Over! Have you seen this work in your building?

Part timers that bid into package car do so because they see the pay rate per hour. They have no idea what they are getting into. If they had any idea of the bulls--t that "goes with the territory" they would look for another line of work. Working OT is just the tip of an iceberg that has two miles of depth below the waters surface.

I don't need a senior driver to grieve every time I said something about it UPS would just put me on the clock to keep quiet.

 

[helenofcalifornia]

But you gotta admit that would be the easiest money you would earn if you were being paid to sort through your truck at the beginning of the day.

//Seriously? 15 to 45 mins later? Here, we all start at the same time. I'm glad I don't work there.

big building with stagered starts over 1.25hrs between earliest and latest route start times, so the covers start at the latest route SW...
