Why do you people get so upset about misloads? Serious question.i

I made lots of money because of misloads.

That’s what I’m sayin. My eyes turn into dollar signs like Scrooge mcduck when I find a misload.

It’s not so much the misloads it’s
Incompetence from the top down

That's it. If you misdelivered four packages every day for a week straight you'd have some answering to do.

I asked my preloader who was always whining that he didn’t get paid enough. How much per hour would it take for you not to have
3-4 off area misloads everyday
Got a blank stare

Why don’t you ask his supervisor instead. Leave the Teamster alone, you aren’t his supervisor.

During my annual physical last month, I got a Covid booster, Flu shot, and Tetanus shot on the same day.

I'm so proud of you.

Oh, trust me I agree with them. Everything about this screams inefficient and shortsighted. All of these smaller centers shutting down and being absorbed by hubs means that route that used to drive 150 miles a day for a rural area is now going to drive 200 or more miles since the route has been moved to a hub further away. That will cause service disruptions and less service. But then again, service doesn’t seem to be our target anymore with this CEO.

My prediction next CEO reverses some of these decisions.

I agree, but hopefully not after so much damage almost unrecoverable

Two things. First, those on 9.5 really do not want extra work. They want their 9 hours (or less) and go home. Second, to go with that, they are usually dispatched a 9+ hour day and are often told to sheet misloads as missed instead of running them if it causes them to go over. And then that misload becomes a service failure.

Personally, I love the ones I can actually deliver. Just pads my bank account.

You probably thought some soccer mom PVD in her Subaru was gonna break the union too, Chicken Little

No I wasn’t concerned about any soccer moms. But why the insult? Just move on.

Main reason is the suit monkeys think every misload are close and order us to go deliver it. Most are not.

Still doesn’t answer my question.

It’s a mystery…

Preloaders were paid $8.50 as recent as 2013.

Where? I started at 9.00 decades earlier.

Is it the unskilled night shift that got that wage? Must be different elsewhere

 

[Brownwind]

Probably because in their minds they were planning on getting in at a certain time then it goes astray.
Me I view it as the easiest money I can make.

11.22 as a casual in 1990. Decent back then

I guess people hate money

 

[Wally]

We have enough work, usually too much. One off route and you are home at 8 pm. Now, if we can sheet as missed we could care less about missorts.

Money? Make enough, don't need extra.

Our own work loaded on the wrong shelf is a different problem. We waste time searching and searching for it. Next days missing are the worst.
