[QUOTE="laffter, post: 1122007, member: 43119"] Those misloads you're talking about... chances are a split was cut from that route but never actually pulled off the truck? I'm not entirely sure how that would happen. Here, management folk come by with sheets of paper and re-scan those packages themselves, then pull them off the trucks. If that's how they do it where you are, then that would their fault, not yours. It sucks to have crappy drivers. Mine are always fairly decent to me. And I was lucky to have the drivers I did when I started working here. My "reputation" for being a good loader (regarding load quality, not necessarily misloads) started with them. If you have any "spare time" to talk to your drivers, and if you think that talking to them may help, I'd ask what you can do to improve your loads. Hourly positions at UPS require minimal education. There are plenty of people in these well-paying positions who are selfish :censored:bags. Some don't know how to load their own cars. All they know is if it's good or bad, at the end of the day. But I guess it's worth a shot. Maybe they're used to certain stops being placed in certain positions but aren't clever enough to figure out that they should tell you. Part time sups typically don't know very much. They definitely don't know the routes they are training you on. They don't know what the drivers were used to with the previous loader. They really don't even know how to put together a decent load. This is very unfortunate, but it's the reality of preload. It's sort of up to you to figure it out, usually with the help of the drivers, as unpleasant as that might sound in your situation. [/QUOTE]
