[QUOTE="turdburglar, post: 1035349, member: 41722"] I really have no idea about that. I will ask a driver tomorrow to be sure. But I do know of something that can come up as a problem. There was a load area that I had loaded for a while before, with drivers that know that I never get misloads. Even so, I always asked them when they came in if they had misloads. I also check the service report every day when it is available, even though it invariably shows that I did not get a misload. However, a couple of times it did show that I had a misload. Of course, when I asked the driver of the truck if he had a misload, he says that he did not. But then he sometimes clarifies by saying that he did, but it was a double label or an out-of-sync, and for whatever reason it turned up as a walk-in-wrong-car. I always made sure to correct that with my part-time supervisor (although he would usually say that the misload was not counted since they knew something else must have happened that was not my fault if there was a misload in my truck). This is one way that they could get me, by saying there were misloads (walk-in-wrong-car) when they were really out-of-syncs or flips. Presumably, all of these things would help my case if all of a sudden misloads started to "magically" appear in my trucks. They can look back at my misload record, and I kid you not, in my 5 years of working at UPS, I have probably had a number of misloads that you can count on three or four hands (and most of these were when I was less experienced). There was even a time when I would catch all flips and out-of-syncs as well, but with the extreme push on production recently, I have not had as much time to do this. One of my part-time supervisors even called me "flipper" since I would catch flips throughout the day and leave them to the side for him to take to the clerk (and this was in a load area where flips were commonplace, sometimes as many as 10-15 per day). However, I knew that I was playing a dangerous game when I began to file grievances, but someone has to do it. [/QUOTE]
