Overboard Termination looking for advice

They place the irregs on the same belt the preloaders are walking on while pulling cages?

That's what they do

 

[PT Car Washer]

Yes, in our hub too. It's NOT safe because people will holler they are turning on belt, and you can't hear them. I twisted my back pretty good once when this happened.

In my building the hub unloaders can walk on the gathering belts to break jams while unloading package cars, (which is bad enough) but to be pulling cages during the preload? What happens to all the stack outs?

 

[bleedinbrown58]

I agree it was a bad idea I just don't agree with the dramatic punishment I was just trying to help my high picks out real fast and got in trouble.

After 7 years here....you should know the rules that management looks the other way on, and the ones we have to follow at all times.

There's no stacking before 7:30

Any stacks are moved off of the belt to the edge, between the belt and the cars.

In my building that would be when the stacking starts. All buildings are different. And all buildings are also the same.

 

[PT Car Washer]

So the preloaders are pulling cages, moving stacks, and pulling irregs while walking on a moving belt. I guess whatever works.

 

[mike1646]

That's why they never wrap. So I guess it doesn't work.

What preload does ever wrap? BB 58, help us out here.

Sir, I too, am familiar with the LEADS acronym.

You've never been on the sort aisle. Sorting a trailer AND a runout/missort belt.

You've never manned a pickoff tower.

You've never sorted a charge aisle.

You've never unloaded/loaded a package car/trailer.

See where I'm going? You've never experienced life at brown in the same manner, OP has.

You've never been put in the same corner OP has. Somehow, here you are. Seriously...

Don't you know? Dave is a hypocrite glass house. He will say how everyone is justified in getting in trouble for not following the methods yet he doesn't follow the methods. He makes up his own and picks and chooses.

He seriously should have never made seniority. He's the worst type of upser there is.

I understand the rules it's just the punishment that's crazy they made it 0 tolerance out of nowhere.

You hit the nail on the head more than he will ever know.

He has told us all the rules he has broken on the road. How he goes above and beyond for customers and what not.

What he will never understand is that if he was in the hub and had a sup over his shoulder the whole time he would be the same as this guy.

This kid jumping on the belt to break a jam is like leaving a COD with a customer and coming back for the check later (as Dave does). It's a big No No with UPS. He was trying to help himself and the company all at once. Same as Dave.

Dave will never believe it but he has NO idea what it's like to do the job. He thinks because he sees what they go thru for 20 min in the morning he has it all figured out. That's like me thinking I know what cops do because I watch the show COPS.

To the OP. You will get your job back. Don't do it again. 7 years is to long to lose it over something that would have maybe took 5 min to deal with. Try and remember that with everything you do at UPS.

Leaving a note with the shipper name and COD amount is NOT the same as leaving the package unpaid and stopping by for the check later in the day.

Nice try, thanks for playing.

Wrap time, you mean? It depends....little factors like tons of bulk or last minute add/cuts will push back wrap time.

You've admitted to leaving COD packages and collecting the check later, have you not?

Nope.

Day 1------never walk on a moving belt.

Our metro belt are the exception to that rule. Metro belts can be the worst, when they are run when people pulling packages from cages.

I wonder what OSHA would think about that?

There I go "wondering" again.......

That makes me dizzy. Watching the belts and box line moving at the same time.
