It seems like you might be putting a little too much time into making the truck neat at the cost of ensuring accurate loads (I did the same thing at first). As long as you have the loads on the correct shelf in relative order, the driver is going to find it. I would suggest putting a bit more time into ensuring accurate loads and not worry as much about how good the truck looks. The driver organizes the truck as he/she makes deliveries throughout the day, so putting too much time into a really good looking load is a waste of time for you. Slow down and get your misloads under control and then focus for the superb standard of neatness. Furthermore, if you feel you've had to make a significant compromise in organization, just give the driver a concise rundown of any irregularities in load. Communication with your driver (whether face to face or through marking the boxes) can go a long way for less than ideal looking loads.

If it makes you feel better, when I first started loading I had like 33 misloads at first. And if that's not bad enough, the full time sup told me they were going to keep me there because I was relatively accurate and had neat/sturdy loads compared to other guys in the building. Yeah... However, over time I eventually got to the point where I didn't have misloads anymore. Months later I ended up driver helping for the driver who had my 33 misloads, when he confirmed the pen number he was parked at, I realized it was the truck I loaded. I told him it was me and that I was new to the position at the time and apologized. He was cool about it (probably since he had a few months to cool off) and told me he respected me owning up to it. So just take it one box at a time and try not to get overwhelmed. It sounds like you're a good employee with a good attitude so just keep trying to do better, most sups will recognize that even if they chew you out.

Thanks dude yeah I'm a good employee, I try, I was told today that I'll have a position at the first of the year on the reload, I started reload tonight, as far as 30 some misloads wow my sups seriously would chew me out, that makes my 8 sound good lol, appreciate it buddy, thanks for the tips.

Why not?

I call her dude all the time. Man, too. It's not calling her A man, you know. Just... habits from the past the just won't go away...


It's also how I talk to people. eh....



hardknocks, don't mind you ain't even know it. He's just, uh.... opinionated. Extremely opinionated. He's good with hyperbole is what I'm trying to say here.

Yeah, like mixing pickups with send agains, chaining the handtruck around pickups, leaving airs in the truck - mixed with grounds. leaving the handtruck in the middle of the truck, dumping pickups on the floor while there is plenty of space on the shelf. Some drivers can be complete retards and/or lazy bums.

I agree. Some drivers are lazy but most aren't a whiny little bitch like you. Why don't you lighten up and realize all jobs at UPS are difficult and demanding and worthy of respect you whiny little POS.

Ups isnt going to go broke because of misloads but 8 is quite a bit and it REALLY sucks to run missloads especially if you dont know the area.

Was there a first a verbal warning, then a written warning( pink slip) beforehand? If not, file for hours worked( to be made hole).

My building normally has a hundred a day outside of Peak. We are not a major metro area.

ten bucks an hour certainly dosent buy a very good employee any longer

They may very well be excellent employees but you will still only get $10/hr effort from anyone. Unless we get out the whips and lock the doors.

Yesterday my loader gave me five careless misloads. She will be there Monday, dammit.

 

[watdaflock?]

The best thing you can do is SLOOOOOOOW DOWN!

Work safe and double check each package before you load on the shelf.

My on-car picked up my helper and a misload from me the other day. He told me had 27 misloads to shuttle. 27 is a very high number for our small center.

The obvious solution is to give the preload the time that they need to do their jobs.
