Over9fife...we call the safety meetings here "Scam Meetings" because they promise prize drawings and such for the shifts that go certain amounts of time with no injuries. Well, we have gotten corny hats and t-shirts that are given away at hubs for doing nothing and we've had a drawing for a tv but the guy that won it has yet to receive it and its been 7 months.
UPSScorpis...We load two pups. On average one trailer is 60-75% and the other, which is what I usually load, is just a full belly. The magazines were coming on a package car 90% of the time over the past year and there would usually be around 300. Sometimes allot more and sometimes allot less. I think there is a certain number that has to be reached for them to make it a feeder pick up (which comes here and not the hub) because of the weight of them I guess. Sometimes they'd just have another driver help and not send the feeder. If it was gonna be 5-8 skids worth they'd make it a feeder pick up but anything more than that would go to the hub. Well lately they are wanting us to unload it here no matter how much it is. Tonight they switched from the usual 28 ft trailer to a 53 ft. trailer!! There were 8 skids on there tonight but supposedly the reason for the switch was so that they could fit 16 or more skids on one load instead of having to send one trailer to the hub and bringing the other one here.
