[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 135709, member: 198"] What I hate is when the preload is already down at 8:00 (rare but it happens) and we all want to start at 8:15 instead of 8:30 but we can't because of that 1% of the drivers that shows up almost right at start time. There is nothing wrong with showing up right at start time but those that do it occasionally screw the rest out of starting earlier. 15 minutes is a long time. Working off the clock isn't really a big issue here. Maybe it should be. I usually arrive between 7:50-8:00 and the same 3-4 drivers will already be inside. They aren't just "doctoring their loads." They are actually loading their truck. We start at 8:30 so I figure those guys are working at least 3 hours for free each week. I used to come in 5 minutes early to sort the air and to doctor the first 15-20 ground stops so that I could get off to a good start by combining air and ground. I later told the preloader how I wanted those first 20 stops loaded and stopped working for free. Of course if the trucks were loaded correctly like they are supposed to be none of this would be going on. [/QUOTE]
