[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1077583, member: 13921"] At the regional, they did not really have a preload. They had 'pullers' that would stack packages behind the trucks and drivers would load their own trucks. Most drivers said that they came in 45ish minutes early and loaded off the clock. Driver's that came in and loaded on the clock were typically fired. Every driver I spoke to knew someone that had been fired for not coming in early enough to load their trucks, but most did not consider it that big a deal. Even if you did the math to show how much more they would make if they were paid for unpaid hours, they would shrug their shoulders. It was frustrating beyond belief. The most frustrating thing was going over things with someone, having a manager stop and have everyone skitter away. It is easier to go to work than it is to help in an organizing drive. [/QUOTE]
