RPCDs working the preload

[Overpaid Union Thug]

We have had drivers on preload pretty much all year.

Ok... please show me in this language where is says "dispatched" hours.
View attachment 261969

It's the Drivers work day. You're on the 9.5 list because you want relief from over time. Not because you want only a 9.5 hour dispatch when driving. If it were "dispatch" hours then it would go off your planned day. Not paid day.

I honestly don't care. I'm glad you guys have what you want.

Must be a regional thing
Got clarification from union this summer

Wrong on that
Extra work is just that....extra
9.5 is only for dispatch on road hours

Unless forced

ftfy

If I need your help with my grammar
I’ll ask you for it

Try and follow along you might learn something

Gets you off the clock sooner
Less stops on road
Fairly basic....

Apparently no one has worked a driver sort before
Less misloads
Truck is loaded in a sensible manner

Loading your own truck = working off the clock.

I'm glad someone filed a grievance and got you runners kicked off the belt before start time.

Article 37 is from the NATIONAL master.

The company won't factor preload hours worked into 9.5, but the guys preloading aren't on 9.5 anyway.

We were basically told that if there is a stink made about this they will stop calling in drivers for preload (told this by andBA) since all of the guys working it want the extra money none of them are going to complain

Then who’s gonna load the truck’s

UPS isn’t calling drivers in because they want to

Not even what we are talking about
Try to speak intelligently when speaking

We have a driver with a wife and 5 kids, you think he wants to be at home?

He's not working off the clock. He was being called in to help load in preload. He was paid for it.

Yes?

 

[iowa boy]

Yes?

He has his wife and 4 girls and 1 boy, living with that much estrogen I would be at work all the time too.

5 girls in 1 house. I'd have committed suicide years ago.

Extra work does not count against your 9.5
Only on dispatched hours
Not until Friday when DOT hours are affected

If a driver works 3 hours on the preload, 9 hours of driving = 12 hour day. Work any more than that and we were running into problems with drivers not having enough hours to cover their own route on Friday. That also means that pretty much everyone on the 9/5 list is working a 10 hour Friday.

Yes
This is true
Extra work is not available to you if you do not have enough DOT hours to fulfill your driving obligation. Driving is your primary responsibility.
This happened to me once. Preload work was not an option on Friday as I needed all available hours to deliver

That's not what he said in his post.

He said he was allowed to come in early and sort/load his truck.

That doesnt sound like they were using the extra work call in list.

If the company was calling the extra work list by seniority there would be no issue. The way he worded his post made it sound that he was coming in early on his own, not being called in.

I guess I miss understood. @gman042 how did one guy ruin it? What was the issue?

Your post made it sound as if you were coming in to load your own truck, on your own time.

A thousand apologies

Either someone was loading their own truck off the clock and a senior driver filed on it.

Or the company was not going by seniority on the extra work list, and a senior driver who didnt get a call filed.
