Exactly. 3 points of contact means 2 feet and 1 hand or 1 hand and 2 feet at all times. If you have anything in your hands you can’t possibly be using 3 points of contact.
Warning letters handed out like candy in our center.

I can have a letter or a small box in one hand and my diad in my pocket, and have three point of contact. But if they’re following me and I want to give them A fit sure I can set letters on the floor and grab them after I turn around lol.

Think about it. As you step down you need 2 hands on the handrail. How are you doing that if you also have a package in your hand?

I have no problem with what you’re saying . Again if you want to be technical i’m sure you can do that, most vehicles only have one handrail on the passenger side so I guess you need to turn your body to grab the handle with both hands. Having said that we had a driver went to a panel because he would not go out the driver side door during a ride along. He was off for well over a month he did not receive backpay and he was told to work as instructed and go out the Driver side door with three points of contact. It was one of the old 800s with a narrow and shortstep on the driver side really almost no way to have three points of contact of any kind without slipping, and he was not a small guy. I thought it was a BS decision. I’m good with whatever A driver wants to do to stay safe. The Fellow teamster who asked about getting warning letters probably is jumping on and off the car without grabbing anything. Grab a handrail anyway you can to take care of your body and stay safe. The job takes a toll on your ankles and knees eventually. Thankfully I have a route with mostly docks. About 80 stops a day 35 pick ups. Don’t go out the door anywhere near as many times as most pkg car drivers.

Google him find out his addy if he has kids or wife and just blurt out facts about him while receiving the letter. Make no threats but mention 3 year old Casey then maybe 173 jasper st later in the Convo.

Better than having a runner who skips lunch and breaks so when you come back they expect you to do the same. It always takes a while to fix things when that happens.

@SaWEET,
How did your supervisor make this determination, in other words, on what grounds did your supervisor give you this warning letter?
Did your supervisor talk with you at all about this prior to giving you a warning letter?
Did you actually physically receive the warning letter or only the promise of one to come?
