You are correct but some go the extra mile

I'm lucky if my loader gets wrapped up on time let alone checking to see if I have a two wheeler. The load was so bad yesterday I was calling the bulk head door "the gates of hell."

That’s Craptacular
Just a thought, if you and the other drivers she loads for complain loudly and lot to manangement...they'll probably move her to another pull..if for no other reason.than to shut you all up
I've seen it happen enough.

That works for the whiners but eventually someone else gets stuck with that loader.

I'm fortunate to have an excellent loader.

I'm serious...at least once year they move a whiner (not calling you a whiner, Joe) onto my pull and I'm told to make him happy and shut him up....load wise...lol. I just got a new one last month. The problem is....after a few months... they move the whiner's route again....but this.guy will have a decent peak with me, at least.

Agreed....someone's got to get the crappy loader...lol
What was the start time? Nothing like coming in at 4:30 and having the pt sup say the volume is heavier than we expected so work hard and don't stack out...
Is this your regular loader and how long have they been doing your route? There are tricks to loading but they are specific to each route and driver. There really needs to be communication with the driver and loader. "Don't load airs, put them all in a tote" "Don't load __________________ on the 3000 shelf, put it RDR and place all the envelopes in a tote." It's not the drivers job to train a loader but with these seasonals coming in, don't count on the belt supe.
There are some clowns on the preload... Seven years ago a guy across from me sat on some packages stacked between his cars and watched packages go down the belt. I forgot what he was pissed about, maybe he was getting hit with bulk for two of his cars. The guy at the end of the belt, five cars down was yelling for him to pull his work because it was piling up down there. Every day was something with him and he would stop the belt... Stacked out and packages all over, the belt supe would tell him "go ahead and go, your drivers are here." I don't remember if he was fired or quit but a couple months after he left we heard he died. I think it was drug related and that probably explains some of his behaviors.

She has been misloading for at least four month (she started when I was out on disability) and her loads have been getting progressively worse. I tried talking to her about her load quality and she made it clear that if I didn't like the way she does her job I am to talk to her supervisor. Her attitude is crap and her loads are worse. I try to be a good, supportive, driver to my loaders but I am done with her crap.

I often do we see a package doing this exact same thing on a belt, because it's too steep until a package rolls up behind it, to stop the tumbling. But this video is out in public. That driver is done! too bad.

She sounds like a real
.That's when you drag your center manager to your truck at the end of the sort and start pointing out stuff...especially unsafe crap..like the idiots who put overweights down the.middle.on top of each other.

If the bad load results in a loss of production, Your sup will get involved. You let your sup know what the problem is. Either your sup will accept your loss of production, or he'll talk to the loader. That's he's problem, not yours. It'll take some time, but continue the loss of production. Your sup will talk to her sup eventually. May take about 3 weeks. Your sup will wait you out for awhile. Of course when that problem gets solved, You've gotta kick production back to where it was!
it's been awhile since I've been in package, but it use to work before!
good luck.

Yeah, it wasn't the smartest thing to do! Just hate to see anyone lose their job.

Management is well aware of the low quality of her efforts but are unwilling to do anything about it.

I don't know if you are union or if she is union but I would get the stewards involved before the supes or center manager. Teamster Oath "...I WILL NEVER KNOWINGLY HARM A FELLOW MEMBER..." If she is not a Teamster then it's no holds barred
