[QUOTE="soberups, post: 869332, member: 14668"] The quality (or lack thereof) of my load is simply a direct reflection of the quality (or lack thereof) of my preload and operations management. My building has been in operation for 25 years now and there arent any secrets left. My building's management has [I]all of the information it needs [/I]to make the correct decisions regarding dispatch, load assignments,job setup, realistic PPH expectations etc. They can choose to set my preloader up to succeed, or they can choose to set him up to fail. That choice will in turn determine whether [I]I[/I] have been set up to succeed or set up to fail. I get paid the same either way, and I [I]refuse[/I] to fall into the trap of blaming some 19 yr old kid making $10 an hour for the incompetence of those who supposedly "manage" him. UPS has chosen to invest millions of dollars into a Telematics system that allows them to monitor where I am and how long I am there to the last inch and the last second....yet for whatever reason they are totally incapable applying these same expectations towards the job of getting the[I] correct[/I] number of stops and packages loaded in the [I]correct[/I] order in an [I]adequate[/I] number of routes. Dispatching is pretty much like computer programming. Garbage in, garbage out. Its not the 19 year olds fault and it isnt mine either. [/QUOTE]
