In my neck of the woods………..
Delivery Sup scans random cars in the morning, packages that are actually on a particular car. The Sup may scan 50 on one car and a couple hundred on another. Those scans generate a report to make sure the driver scanned the scanned packages. Another method of auditing will have a Sup intentionally remove a package from the car in “Bay 20” and place it in the load on the car in “Bay 21”. This audit is to see if the driver calls in a “wrong car” or just brings it back and throws it on the belt.
Packages that are in your EDD but not on the car are reported at the end of day. We are provided a sheet to record them on. We haven’t called in or used ODS for “not founds” for several months.
The Delivery Sup also told us he appreciated drivers that called each other to handle “wrong cars”, but he still needed them reported to the center. He said he couldn’t hold the preload accountable if the problem goes unreported.
I don't want to sound foulish but how does one start a new thread on MISSED SCANS?

We have not had a sup. say a word about running over in about five years, even when some of the better drivers would as much as four hours over. Then all of a sudden this week they went nuggin futs about it. Are we going back to the 70's and 80's when that was the only thing mattered. Has this happened at any other centers?
In my center, you have 78C 78D 78E 78F loaded next to each other, because it is easier to move split work between them all
Please tell me this is true.
I would love to be able to have a ten hour conversation bouncing down back country roads with a DM.
It ain't going to happen.
They can just track me by GPS and try and figure it out.

Totally unacceptable! Why on earth would a management person want to intentionally misload a package and then create a service failure? I sure hope the supervisor is using a "dummy" package for auditing purposes; if not, he/she is the real "dummy."
I understand the plan, but the execution is all wrong.

hey satellitedriver,
you are talking about GPS. I had a driver ask me yesterday if the new contract would give UPS the ability to disipline driver using GPS. He thought the old contract did not allow this but was not sure if the new contract would let them. Managment said they use it to help set up routes ect. but should the drivers be ready for warning letter and such based on just GPS information ????
I send a message for every misload then promptly sheet it as missed (package visibility). I let them make the decisions. If I don't hear back before the end of day, I leave the misload in the office before I go home.I still don't understand fully why we even have to call in missed package. There should be a way that they know that you have a missed package because of GPS!
No need, the technology (RFID tags) can be sewn into your uniform without your knowledge.Probably in the near future we will have be required to have surgically implanted chips on our forehead so we know exactly where the GPS is at all times!

Not as far as I know. Warning talk, maybe.hey satellitedriver,

It happened at ours yesterday. center manager had a PCM that all 2 hour + over drivers will be ridden by the division manager. The basic premise seemed to be that all hourlies are liars, cheats and theives.
It seems to be the good ole days all over again!
