If Air has not arrived before you leave, no way you can be held responsible.
Management tries to blame you for something done after you've gone home, talk with stu'.

nowhere special
The problem is more if air arrives on time and gets scanned early but gets missorted or is still floating around somewhere in the system and doesn't get put on the package car until much later by a PT sup just tossing in to clean up the dock. Very difficult to prove the sup did it and there would be no late scan after the preloader left.

deep down inside I really do not care
I do the same thing.Give as best explanation I can in the space given. My PT preload sups are OK now.I did have a FT sup that would pitch stuff in cars.He got caught and sent to another center al long drive from his home.

So I asked my sup today if he could look up the tracking number for the misloads I had on Friday. He told me that he could not find the report... then he came back and told me that the clerk probably threw it away????? REALLY??? It was super light today and I got sent home early so I didn't get to talk to the steward..

My advice: you care too much..UPS loves that and that's why they are on your case. If you didn't misload airs, then it's not your problem. Don't make it yours by worrying.

Yea.. Your probably right. I will keep using the crayon and listen to them lecture me on the "keys to preventing misloads." I am getting a shot at driving I'm a few weeks anyways.

Yes. Seems to happen often.
Preloaders hear they can go home and they tend to instantly drop everything and practically celebrate the entire way through the building and out the front door. I don't really mind anymore because the more people they send home tends to equate to more time on the clock for me, and I'm not gonna be moving any faster than usual so.... at the end of the shift it just means more money in my pocket.
3.5 hour guranteee.....??
My advice to you is slow down and think when you start driving. That is all

On break find a stu'.
Say something like, "I need to talk to you today before we both leave."
Maybe stu' will discuss during break or say lets wait til after work.

Allergic to cardboard.
We have guys like that also. They tend to be guys that are just going home with nothing else to do the rest of the day. Mind boggling.

Tell him to check the server. We back up our misload sheets daily. May not happen everywhere, but who knows, you may get lucky.
Sounds to me they're trying to nail you so you don't get that shot. Even if you do, they may not let you qualify.

They can't send you home just because its light. Get your guarantee and stop being a push over or your in for a crappy time here.

In my center, it used to be, all 10:30 commit NDA outside of car, under belt.
For a minute, they tried loading the NDA on-car, that didn't work out so well - many late air.
We're back to leaving the NDA under the belt, outside the truck. Much better.
I run routes where I'm onto 10:29 running straight air, and the car is bulked out (so much so that I can't contain, etc...) and I can't be climbing through the truck looking for air.
Please, gentle baby Jesus, leave the NDA outside of the car, then I know where it is.
(On topic, I've also caught sups tossing packages in random cars - it's funny with the new ones - WTF ARE YOU DOING!!?? JK...seriously though? Where's your boss?).

They may not be able to force him to go home but they can certainly lay him off. 2 hours is better than none at all.

At least if they lay him off, he can collect unemployment.
