[QUOTE="fattybrown, post: 3733301, member: 55462"] And then add the extra impact of force from that 20 lb average box that you talk about to those joints over that distance. I know I have a good job and am grateful for it, but your little snide comment really irritates me. Why must this company try to belittle everything and everyone. I’ve been on both sides during my 15 years with the company, I’ve heard the higher ups give the tongue lashings to center mgrs and on cars. It’s BS. I’ve also caught crap from preloaders about pkgs getting crammed down their throats, drivers feeling like they are being harassed because they were the first ones done and they have to go back out and help others, or feel as if they are over dispatched. Basically what I’m saying is I’ve been around a little bit and had several different positions during my tenure. What I know is, this job is demanding and puts a toll on your body. Some mental, some physical, sometimes both. The biggest problem is the people in IE doing the planning who don’t realize what actually happens each day in our not so perfect world. All to make the shareholders more money. Sure the numbers sound logical and reasonable on paper, but there are too many variables within the company and our surroundings. Just because we have more daylight in the summer, doesn’t mean we should bump up SPC. That has always blown my mind since these pkg cars are mobile ovens. Or how about the law states we can work them 70hrs, we should do that. It’s only another few hours. [/QUOTE]
