[QUOTE="opey, post: 3889009, member: 60931"] i have literally parked, the unloader immediately jumped in the truck and started unloading, and the line sup barked at ME for not unloading and had the unloader stop so i could do it. we are also supposed to unload all smalls... under 16 inches and 8 pounts.. and every now and then they have people go around and check all the cars and take pics of any smalls left in the car or on the belt not containerized. I understand everything you are saying, and yes it is neglect, but you sound more like management than a 25+ year driver. You describe a perfect world, which doesnt exist at UPS, at least not where I am. When they started breaking balls about this a year or so ago, we said we have no totes... so for a week or so, we had totes in the morning, and even stacked for when we got back. That lasted maybe 2 weeks, and we havent had access to totes since then. There are forever bags, but they are a pain and dont fit much of the larger smalls...great if you are picking up envelopes and such, not great for 6 inch square boxes. if smalls were actually smalls and werent classified as packages up to 16 inches, it wouldnt be much of an issue. and hey if they wanna pay us the OT to do it then so be it, it just doesnt make sense financially [/QUOTE]
