[QUOTE="Mike23, post: 595359"] I used to average around 30-50 late air a week. Where I am it was never a big deal. Since they've started being organized though they tried to get me in poop two weeks back for 18 late air. I was asked why it was late. I made notes of the reason for it. 1. I had an air bulk stop on a second floor and had requested a dolly three weeks prior. I was not given one so it ate up around 15min of my time going up and down the stairs three or four times. 2. My preloader asked to have 28 guitars bulked (they were each worth 1k and boy was that company mad when they saw +70 boxes had fallen on them) because it cubed out my truck. I barely got the door down in the 1000 when I left. Since it was cubed out and my 1200 were at the back half of the truck I couldn't get to them without getting this stupid stop off first. I also had to load my own truck in the morning since my preloader couldn't work efficiently around those stupid guitars so got out of the building at around 0910 instead of 0855. That ate up around 30 min of delivery time in total for two of managements errors. He blinked at me a few times and said, 'try harder in the future please'. I told him I was trying as hard as I could with the limited equipment and assistance given. That was all I heard about it. I always put it back on them since they're the ones supposed to be managing the situation. If they over dispatch, not your problem as long as they know you need help it's theirs. As for calling in for help. Keep it simple. I was dragged into the office a little while ago for asking a sup, 'what would you like me to miss? Pickups or deliveries' he said niether and I said I'd try my best. He apparently didn't think I was serious so I got in trouble for poor communication. Anyways, now when I need help, I page in, 'I NEED HELP' and phone him and yell, 'I NEED HELP!' That way they can't claim there's poor communication since it's simple enough for them to understand.
