[QUOTE="twoweeled, post: 2172420, member: 27108"] I'm not sure what your referring too, but I'll take a guess. Would P/T management pull the lower paid loader, only to have him replaced by a higher paid driver? Yes he would. Part time management has little if any concern with the cost associated with the higher cost driver. P/T management isn't paying his wage. The driver is on the package operation's payroll. (Depending on the size of your hub) Preload management is concerned with getting loaders and sorters off the clock. PT management is concerned with it's own payroll. They couldn't care less about drivers. Not their problem. In theory, drivers hours can be charged to the preload, but that doesn't happened because it opens up a gigantic can of worms. Related to this, is package operations management and preload management are hoping stupid drivers are in their cars early (working off the clock)and taking up the loading! The preload get their loaders off the clock, and package is getting free loading! Win win for management, lose lose for hourly. So yes, PT sups will take a preloader out as early as he feels he can. You care correct, that a driver feels he is just helping clean up, unless he's one of the drivers who like to work for free. As for staffing being light when unexpected absenteeism happens. Consider a driver is on road all day, 5 days a week. Does maybe 150-200 stops a day. COD's! Packages that look like small refrigerators. Often delivering the largest package to the apartment on the 2nd floor, in the rear of the largest apartment complex (only to find out nobody's home). Traffic accidents and construction, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year. Multiple excuses EVERY SINGLE DAY. Management's response to this has always been the same: "IT'S ALL FIGURED IN". Deal with it plan and adapt. If management is short staffed, that's managements doing. It is the sole responsibility of management to staff, no one else. "IT'S ALL FIGURED IN"!! Plan better, Plain and Simple! [/QUOTE]
