My PCM usually consists of getting a message a week later about doing the most recent DIAD training(s).
If that's really the case then it's on them to assist you with air stop being a scab. You aren't legally allowed to be in the work area before you punch in anyway.
You're working off the clock for free. Doing these things is part of your job and shouldn't be done before your start time.
You're writing ups a hundred thousand dollar check over the course of a 30-35 year career.
The reason you start so late is because they know idiots like you will come in a prep before being paid.
Start doing it at start time and after a few bad days, they should adjust it so that you have adequate time to do your job.
Or keep working for free and stand on your perch about how it's "professional " and "unacceptable to have late air" while ignoring that you cause this later start time by being gullible.
Only in the BOG.
Impressive.We start at 845 I punch in at 844 one time walking into the building a supervisor said "good morning" to which I replied "I'm not on the clock."

Laugh out loud same hereI swear my center manager practices in the mirror for his PCM...
he always starts " I'm going to keep this short" and ends up running his mouth for 10 minutes... EVERYDAY
We just recently started doing PCMs and I'm starting to have a real problem with them. For example, lets say the start time is 6:40 p.m. We have the meetings 5 - 10 minutes before the start time. Sometimes, I get to work minutes before the start time - still on time, but I miss the meeting - because of my small window of time between my two jobs.
Recently I've been getting flak for missing them. They say they are mandatory, but I don't see how they can be if they have them before the start time - when we are not being paid.
What should I do? I don't want to get written up or fired because I havn't been attending.
I bet you often wonder why you have a target on your backWe start at 845 I punch in at 844 one time walking into the building a supervisor said "good morning" to which I replied "I'm not on the clock."
You're quite the rebel aren't you?
I'd say he's playing the game just right.
When was the last time at PCM, that you heard from MGT, that anything good was done??
Friday morning. As a center we made our backing and send again goals.

Well said!Upstate...
"It's not a matter of getting on their good side. It's called being a professional."
A true professional does not violate labor laws, safety rules, and the contract by working off the clock; which you are advocating.
"No one is saying you need to get to work 30-60 minutes early nor are they saying that you should be performing any physical work before start time.
Gathering what you may need for the day, reviewing and signing off your DVIR, punching in and getting the DIAD ready to download EDD are all things that can be done prior to the PCM so that you are ready to go once the PCM is over."
How do you gather what you need for the day, perform a proper pre-trip and sign off the DVIR (which you must do before signing off the form) without doing any physical work?
My old school center manager (over 30 years ago) used to say if you can't get it done while punched in you will never be a successful, professional driver.
You do all this work (and more you have admitted to on other threads) off the clock and yet you like to brag that you are under allowed. Drivers who do all this off the clock are not professionals in my book. In my building you would be slapped down by the labor manager because other drivers would be grieving your off the clock work for pay, along with opening up the door to a class action lawsuit for UPS allowing work off the clock.
Slavery ended in 1865. Be a professional and stop working for free.
Did you ever work in a bonus center?Give them 10 minutes of unpaid work a day, and you are giving them $1.3 million over your career... if you had instead invested that pay in a 401k at historical averages.
10 minutes=$1,000,000+

Why?Did you ever work in a bonus center?
The serious we start so late is the yahoos in Syracuse can't get our stuff here any earlier.
As for the rest of your drivel------yawn.
Pretty sure I used that on you before on here a few times.Scab?
I've been called worse by better.
