Preload is trash.

[PreTrippin’]

How can the sups train people when they don't know how to do it themselves?

They watched the video and got certified.

 

[Honduh]

For the past 3 weeks we’ve been starting up an hour after start time due to preload not being done. Most of the drivers are not getting back to the center until after 8pm. What gives? Lol.

Its not hard to figure out, staffing issues + trailers not arriving on time means your not leaving on time.

Maybe if ups got their together things would change, but until then don't blame the people breaking their backs for minimum wage.

Our preload is doing alright. Loads on Mondays are screwy but the cars are loaded the rest of the week by start time most of the time.

Bumping the pay back up to 20 or 21 soon I’m not sure, that my help out preload

Start preload at 330-4 instead of 530-6.

You guys start that late? Geezus and I thought Preload here was bad at 4:30 445

When I started on the preload we started at 3:30 and 3:45 and drivers started at 8:00. Some days we never saw the drivers come in.

The good old days, they didn’t even have pals back then just a chart and a marker and that thing was loaded almost stop for stop

Misloads were almost unheard of. If you did have one the drivers would just meet during lunch and swap packages.

My Preloader when I was training was probably the reason I stayed Driving, she was an older lady and she was meticulous about the load. I don’t think I had one misload while I was training and the car was set up perfectly for me every day.

And then one day, she was replaced by an idiot.

More like three idiots
And they still can’t hold a candle to her

She was probably making $.50/hr less than FT top rate drivers also. Can't have that.

I think you and I can agree that one pay rate would be spectacular I just don’t know how feasible that is.

It was feasible 40 years ago in the age of the Dinosaurs. Everyone hit top rate after 90 days. Whatever that top rate was.

With inflation/low pay and how physically demanding this job is we have had a lot of people quitting which has led to staffing issues. They also hire anyone who comes to the interview. Yesterday there was this new guy who had to be at least 350lbs and was walking with a limp.

We will take him in feedahs

He’d be one of the slim ones

Our loaders start between midnight and 2, still can’t wrap up usually.
