[QUOTE="Noslofivoh, post: 4720299, member: 80877"] Sometimes depending on the driver. Some of them are go about it the right way. However we have some that think we work for them and nit-pick the crop out of stuff. Things that aren't really important at all. It's like they are trying to prove a point but they don't realize that we have ALOT to do in a very short amount of time. I have one driver that will actually write up "paint wheels". Yea right I have more important things to fix and repair than painting your wheels. Being a mechanic at UPS is a real balancing act between figuring out what you have time to fix to keep the truck on the road, being in DOT compliance, UPS compliance, doing LOFs PMs etc. Something that actually bothers me is that very few drivers will even look over their trucks. Look at the tires, check the oil etc. Doing a basic safety inspection. After all that's part of a Pre-Inspection for DOT. Feeders certainly are supposed to- not sure about other areas but ours do and it sometimes makes things easier and smoother between automotive and drivers because you can get a good idea of what is needing to be done and can help plan the workload.
