Working off the clock!
- Thread starter Other work
- Start date
Or they could just hire more help so we don't have excessive overtime everyday.

Scared, or they are fool runner-gunners. Long term, they usually get themselves hurt or fired.

Had a package steward that was there an hour before, sorting and marking and planning. The STEWARD. How do you set an example with this?
When in package (went to feeders after 3 yrs), never did have an area. I came in one day, just to do anything, they were fat on drivers and asked him if he wanted off. He was, also, most senior driver.
He'd been in his "car" the usual hour before. He had asked for an 8 hr request, so it was set up that way (I guess). I ran it blind. Never ran it before. Every parcel was marked, where to go for indirects, where to leave if release, etc. This was also the day of paper...no, whatever you call it now. All signatures, very few releases, I think maybe Penny's and a handful of others. Mind you, he didn't know he was getting the day off. THIS WAS FOR HIM, and he'd been here for 24 yrs already.
I was done, finished, empty, kaput by 1:30 PM. Pickups didn't start til 3. Do you think he had the Co by the short-hairs or what?
Oh, and did I mention that he was the STEWARD? Nice guy but a goof

Which has zero to do with taking lunch.

Pretty long lunch break.
Yup . Few guys around me doing it . They been grieved by preload and fired for it . Back the next day. They were told they could be in there and organize all they want and look for misloads as long as they weren’t taking anything off the dock or cage and loading . Oh well. I’m lucky to be at the pcm on timeI’m really getting sick of guys checking for misloads and organizing their trucks an hour before start time…
I’ll check for misloads when I get to my route area..

Sorting the load before start time is working off the clock. Same for lunch break.
We are our our worse enemy.
Don’t have to tell me . That’s what our union and the company told him . I’ll do it one day a year , Xmas eve . Maybe a few min early . This year my truck was so empty it didn’t take long lol . Hell I don’t even verify my air . I get in my truck and go
eats packages
Deranged lunatic
Nowadays they are paying for the cars to effectively get preloaded twice including lost milage whether they admit it or not. Whether you sort it all in one go or suffer through each stop individually. No way would I do that for free, I'm 22.4 after all.

Good thing I wore my brown pants
You handle it by calling out the steward, and then FILE on his working off the clock for xtra work. Forget aboutbfiking against a teamster,, if its your stew. Shut him down. Also call your BA and tell them, youre not putting up with this stew breaking rules.

Yup. We had a runner gunner have a tier 3. Got fired on the spot and maybe... 4 to 6 months later got his job back. Seemed to of calmed down for a little bit but is right back to running and gunning again. So he was out of work for 4 or so months, if he has another accident there is no way he is coming back. Also he will probably cripple himself after enough time.
Don't be stupid, be safe! WE GET PAID BY THE HOUR!!!

The latest thing at our center is getting all the preload sups to sort cars between when the preload is done and when the drivers report to cut back on misloads.
