[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

I will try harder in the future, I am not a naturally funny guy though.

We know

 

[pkgdriver]

I back when I need to back. I'm the driver.

Our Center/Business manager now preaches that.Youre the boss out there. Back only when needed. He’s one of the best I’ve worked under.

Of all the "Instruction" to send that is what that particular OPS group is focused on....
Guess we didn't have time to work on anything else that would actually make us money.
My favorite this week is "why don't we have the centers call these certain shippers and ask them why they are not shipping with us?" yup, gonna work on that right now.

@Dragon what's going on? With everything that's going on and the hailstorm that's about to decend on the Midwest centers with peeps getting sick can we not focus on what really matters or even what 1/2 way matters?

Do we now have such a shortage of real decision makers that managing the human component of the business is a forgien concept?

 

[DumbTruckDriver]

The last time we got that message, my back firsts mysteriously increased. Weird. If we get it again, I might have to back first at every stop.

 

[Maple Grove MN Driver]

I would back at every stop just to piss them off.
Can't be disciplined based solely on technology.

It wouldn't be discipline from backing itself, but from "failing to work as directed". That's why if you had to back you put the ball in their court and message in saying to send a wrecker because you cannot put the package car in reverse and won't be able to move.

I remember when ORION was first released they wanted us to message the center to get approved for each trace break. I sat for just under 45 minutes the first day waiting for permission the first time I needed to break trace and was promptly told to switch back to RDO once they realized I’d sat idle that long. It’s the cowards that they target with these types of harassment. The rest of us make them regret it.

That is exactly what every driver should do, make them regret the stupid things they do. Sadly, only a handful of drivers are willing to go that far. I enjoy it more than I probably should though, it feels like Christmas morning whenever I get the chance to mess with management for them being stupid.

They used to tell us a good driver don't need brakes so they could get rid of those either.

 

[rod]

You're kidding right?

sadly - no

I like how a supervisor will accuse people like me of being difficult when in reality I am just doing as I’m told and/or following the contract. It’s the cowards that might as well have calluses on their knees that have become the normal driver.

Remember when they were so concerned with safety that you didn't need seat belts?
