The guy that had the route before him had 9000 dollars of 9.5 grievance in one year, so obviously there computers are way off
I have a question for everyone.

Trust me, I’m not disagreeing I just know how they play the game.

What's the route like?
It’s not bad, normally about 140ish stops a few pickups. It a grid route though, no subdivision.

That doesn’t seem to be working out
Maybe try running up his miles

It’s about time they start going after these chumps that turn 6 hour routes into 10 hours. They thought they’d be able to claim “but I was following the methods”. Jigs up

If he had been following the methods and recording accurately, he would’ve been fine. Having said that, I have seen a whole lot worse return to work. If he hasn’t been in trouble much before his 23 years will probably be helpful.

He sounds like one of those guys that used to do his ndas then go back and do his savers then go back a third time for grounds.

Believe it or not before we had Edd that’s exactly how I was trained if you were blind on the route, or pressed for time because of commits.

Until they go on vacation and the cover driver finishes up early with fewer miles. "What does he do all day?"

And a good steward will shut that down pretty quick

The guy next to me used to do that so they ended up giving me all this work. The money I made from 9.5 grievances paid off my car, a year early.
Shame they killed savers by three

Yep savers are just like ground now

Why would there be a call to the center?
A driver was trained on duplicate stops. Sheet the packages like you were trained unless you were instructed by your center to do it differently at some point in the past.
@Wally said he was instructed that if the wheels move, it’s a separate stop. That’s fine. He’s working as instructed.
Centers typically like to do it their own way and disregard corporate training. We had this issue with missed packages. Centers wanted it done their own way despite what Corporate training said.
I just hope @Wally has that in writing, or at least a Steward told the same thing to back him up if something happens. Because we all know he would be thrown under the bus if he said his center told him to disregard Corporate training and do it their way.

Apparently there is. They asked him why he took 7 minutes to deliver this stop and 7 minutes to deliver that stop. They were trying to find out why he is the most overallowed.
Then they discover he is padding his stops to probably try and reduce his overallowed, or to cover up for why he takes so long at some stops. Why is he even worried about his overallowed? Someone has to be the least best. That was me for a long time. I'm still here.
They can't fire him for production, or for taking too long at a stop. But the fired him for padding stops.
I still think they are just trying to send him a message and will offer him is job back thinking he may clean up his act. I hope I am right.

I think that’s exactly what’s going to happen, barring a bunch of information we don’t know about.

Let’s be intellectually honest here. Buddy didn’t get fired for having a few duplicate stops in his board. He got fired for taking a long steamy on company time. “Padding stops” is just their excuse.
Now you can argue about what the contract says, what OSHA says, what the methods are. You can argue about all that until you’re blue in the face. Was all this hassle really worth the extra $10 or $20? Is this hill worth dying on? I don’t think so. I wouldn’t.
Do the right thing and go on break if you’re dropping a deuce. Think about how the guys who are in progression would look at you. The union has finite resources to advocate for its members. There’s guys who are having their jobs threatened bc they are slow learners or made honest mistakes due to inexperience. Meanwhile here’s a 20 year driver who wanted to milk the clock. How shameful.
