[QUOTE="Big Package, post: 2950081, member: 67494"] As a preloader, cutting corners usually means hurting yourself. Our "team" frequently avoids using load stands and just lets everything drop onto the belt in controlled falls. I don't care but I kind of do. I got nailed by a 40lb package from someone doing this and it nearly gave me a concussion. Everyone cuts corners at preload and it's pretty dangerous. I know sups are watching it's just sad they don't do anything about this. Then we get leakers and busted packages on top of everything that's already crushed. People seem to think chutes are shortcuts instead of the ladders. It's kinda sad, but none of these guys have aspirations of becoming a driver so I guess the shoe fits. The only time I've ever had a driver cut corners was this last peak. Man, they treated us like runaway slaves. Every once in awhile we would take on the clock breaks, like walk together "looking for an address" and just take a few minutes to stretch and hydrate away from the truck but keeping it in eyesight. Was the hardest of the 3 peaks I've worked. That's really as far as cutting corners as I've really done. [/QUOTE]
