Oh no doubt, I would definitely report it, but I would do everything within my power to fix it before it rolled out the gate too.
Yeah I probably should have tried to fix it. My supervisor's excuse for not wanting me to move it was "it took an hour and a half to load it", so again, that makes everything okay, because it was a PITA to load at the place we picked it up./sarcasm Anywho, a co-worker and I did fix 2 of the loads that the "senior" driver loaded nose heavy.
It just cracks me up cause we just had reps from a company we service come to our barn to try and figure out how their stuff (dont' want to get myself in trouble by saying what it is) get's damaged. They walk around and our FOM is like "oh yeah, we do this and strap that, blah blah blah" but as soon as they leave people are back to doing w/e. Then at the end of the night, someone is like, hey can you close that trailer for me, "yeah with your handheld, I don't want my name on that train wreak". I know a lot of it has to do with being down in hours, people are pissed, not caring, etc. I, myself, am down to like 25-30 hours a week, hell there are times where I will go 2-3 days without even getting in a truck. I still try to do my best regardless, because my hours aren't gonna go up because we keep damaging crap.
