They're using them at my hub.
They've been working for 2 weeks now.

If we all did this, who'd report Managers working or other people working off the clock? I appreciate the old timers schooling the new guys.

We get paid by the hour. If the company puts too many stops on the truck, it may not get done. That's on them. Jamming the truck often means less productivity, not more.

I never cared about supes working as long as it wasn't at the expense of a union bro/sis.
As far as working off the clock, person wants to "donate" their services, let them.
I like to get paid for my work but to each their own.
In both instances, I'm focusing more on what's going on with me than them.

Bad example. They didn’t screw up nearly as many Super Bowls as UPS has. LOL

Please remove my account. This forum sucks.
What does, "roll a stop" mean?

A California roll. When you treat a stop sign as a yield.

Sheet as “missed” (or NSN, NI1 if you’re a coward) and it goes back out for delivery then the next day. Or a slow down but not stop at a stop sign.

We were rolling 10 trailers worth of stops every day a few years ago.
I was bringing back 100+ missed stops each night to stay under 14 hours. Every driver in our center was working 70 hrs a week and no where near finishing the stops each night.
Some packages were on my shelf 7 and 8 for two weeks running.
Drivers going out with 600+ stops.
This year is nothing. The 2 year drivers think this rush is so bad...yeah whatever.

Look at the time got the text below.
That year we were stretching the 14 hour rule to run out of 70 hours before Friday was over...The rule about having to have 8 left to force you in on Saturday didn't exist yet.
Stop driving at 14 hours, but they would sign for paid break after working up to 14. So your punchout was 13 hours and 59 minutes but you were paid for break in addition to that. They said you only needed 10 hours from when you punched out to punch in the next day even though you were paid for 14 hours and 20 minutes.
If you couldn't make it to the bldg in 14, you had to stop driving and the supervisor would come to drive you in.
Funny how the hard and fast rules go out the door when tens of thousands of stops are missed.
They forced me in on a Saturday when I had 68.5 hours in already. Preload was late getting done. I drove out, did one stop and drove back.

Those stop counts are insane. We've had some bad years of rolling trailers and some stops missed but never anything like that even after some crazy snow storms. 5 or 6 years ago we had a storm that actually shut us down for 3 days and it still wasn't that crazy.
