What do you think about drivers who sort their truck off the clock?

[Spanky250]

Why would you? All they do is talk about how they’re working on the preload from getting misloads and yet you get them the next day anyway.

Ours are always just about how we suck at this and suck at that and they need our help with the numbers. I really don't feel like starting my day with that negative BS, so I just don't go.

Sheesh

We have 2 a day. The one in the morning, and the 25 messages we get a day telling us not to use closed during 12 to 1 and other stupid *.

I sheeted two dental clinics closed between 12:00-13:00 because we pulled 30 minutes late today and I'm on a tough route this week and needed to keep up. They're never open on Fridays, but I fully expected a message in my board and it never came. I'm almost disappointed. I'm sure they'll make up for it by calling me into the office on Monday though.

Take a vacation week.

Just because you repeat the same thing over and over, doesn't make it true.

Please refer me to the thread(s).... where I ever said that.


I'll be waiting.

Just because you deny it over and over doesn't mean it's not true either. You admitted that "no-one will represent the "alleged" doorbell racist(whatever that means....)". Bingo. That guy never got a chance from the get go. Good bet YOU use politics, racism and hate against the very people you claim to represent. This is why you have pkg employees doing the things they are doing to survive. They have no confidence in their union representation......knowing they are pawns in a political give and take. No? I know better. Depending on what race, who you know(and blow) factors in (around here) the outcome of their case....racism is BIG around here. In our very Union...and it ain't just white on black.

So, you just do what you want? Are they optional? So, let's say you miss a verbal instruction and don't comply......causing whatever to happen.....what then? I've heard some pretty important things in PCM's and deliberately ignoring them......serious question.

They tell me it makes their day easier but I personally can't see myself doing that. The managers have gotten on to them before for doing that but they didn't listen so they just gave up. The earliest I've seen is some of them coming in at 8:00 a.m. and their start time is 9 a.m.

I use to setup my truck when i first started but over time i stopped that. i mind my own business and that works for me

 

[Hot Carl]

Well, it happened again today. Business-heavy route, 320 pieces, truck completely tossed when I got in. Didn't touch a thing until start time. Called for pickup help at about 3:00 while I dug out and ran down the last few business. Air meet at 5:30. On track to punch out after 9:00 local time. Keep this up and I'll never have hours left for Saturday.

Is that a good thing or bad thing?

Back-to-back days off? What kind of fascist dystopia is this?

 

[Steamer]

That’s why when you achieve true 8 hour dispatch status, it’s so damn sweet. 1/2 hour break at 11, lunch at 1:30, 2 hours of pickups 1 hour of deliveries left. Absolute gravy!!!
Edit: I replied to the wrong 542 reply, so this sh** looks totally out of context

Doesn't that just dump more work on the cover drivers?

What I denied.... was this.

Says the guy who admits to not fairly representing ALL union members.

You admitted that "no-one will represent the "alleged" doorbell racist(whatever that means....)".

What happened ?

Did you have to go back and re-read my post (#10) from your thread ?

Electronics used to fire rant driver? | UPS Union Issues

So, how about it? There it is.....on video. That's electronics. We had a feeder driver fired over an accident and telematics were absolutely used in respect to speed and cruise control usage. It stuck. So, will the video footage be thrown out? Get his job back? This is worldwide now... If he...

I'm not even sure.... I can decipher this bizarre rant.

That depends. Do they run?
2 8 hours a month. Every. Single. Month.
If you’re cool you talk to your loop mates about it before hand

Why do you think most of us have a start time that is 1/2 to 1 hr later then years ago?

Because they know drivers will come in early and sort off the clock.

Don't tell me preload can't get done on time...they start those guys later than they used to.

It is purposeful.

That’s dumb. I clock in 2 minutes before start time.

I don’t think it’s that. Drivers coming in early to sort their load is very minimal here. It’s more that management knows nobody wants to be out late, so they can save a few bucks by starting later and having most drivers run their backsides off to get in.

Cover driver gets $500 for sup working you get $500 for over 9.5 when it hits the fan and they come back with missed. Bonus $500 if the cover driver has enough seniority to also be on the 9.5 list.
