well that's it misfit!...and i've been preaching it in meetings for yrs. If they would go back to making the majority of the dock positions full-time like they use to when it was a.f..i guarantee damages will drop. Let me break down the theory of the hypothesis of the whatchamacallit prognosis.
-a full time docker wouldn't most likely have a second job....right!?
-therefore they'd realize that being full time and working 5 days a week would be a valuble option to bringing the bread & butter to a decent living household...and not take their position/full time status for granted...right!?
-therefore they would most likely take pride, slowly & carefully think out situations, and utilize their resources at work for a successful outcome...right!?
-you see where i'm getting at...right!?
My thoughts are bring back full time dock positions and u will see damages decline, load avgs up, these employees would not most likely take their jobs for granted, u may even get re-weigh tickets from these employees like we use to yrs ago when the customer would try to cheat us on the weight of a shipment at pickup but re-weigh it at the customer center. My point is if the company stops hiring these part time hotrod fork jeep driving kids or these home for the summer from college kids then maybe we'd get somewhere. When they implemented this bph crap, in my opinion, they created a even more hostile hotrod rush environment on the dock resulting in damages increasing. Think about it......
