[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 161616, member: 4653"] Aspen, Thanks for your post. I didn't realize you cared so much of the driver's opinion on your job. I happen to have a very good preloader and I guess from your post I probably don't thank him enough. I have been attempting for almost a year to get the dispatch sup to change the location of a bulk stop that is in my truck. This company gets 60 packages per day and has a dock. These 60 packages are loaded in the 4000 section. I asked the dispatch sup if he could put a HIN of 8900 for this stop so they could be loaded on the back shelf. He said no problem. The sup did this for 1 center car plan and thats it. Apparently you have to do it for all the car plans to get it in that section everyday, because that stop hasn't been given a HIN of 8900 in over 5 months! I guess the center is not running that amount of cars anymore as for me to get this bulk stop loaded where it should be. Anyway, my point is, the preloader recognizes this stop and loads it at the back of the truck. Problem is, when he is out I have a preloader trying to stuff 60 packages in section 4375 which I have to walk 1 by 1 to the back of the truck. This is a senario where I really apprecitiate the efforts of my preloader and don't care too much for the efforts of our dispatch sup. My point here is, if the goal for management is to manage the center in a way to deliver packages more efficiently then this particular manager is not doing his job. Its talking me at leat 5-8 minutes longer to do this stop with it loaded at the front of the truck. It amazes my that a company that puts so many resources into counting seconds (IE person telling me I'm doing my start-car routine 1 second longer than should. good grief!) in these time studies would allow me to waste a whole 300 of them in just 1 stop.
