Now you fly planes, do yo dispatch too!!!!
When you show me that millage breakdown.
Iron sharpens iron my friend.
Yes, I'm even the CEO of YRCW in my spare time.
PS - The more you post the more you indicate how little you understand about the job you have.
Talk with you guys later, mommy put me some milk and cookies out. Be safe.
In my own experiences on jobs I've occasionally approached management with suggestions (not gripes) about improving/correcting some situation/operation on the job. I've found that when making those suggestions in an reasonably intelligent, rational way they have been listened to and often implemented. I think the secret is to make those suggestions from the viewpoint of improving something to make the company operate better and not in a way that comes off as just griping or complaining. Like the old saying - you catch more bees with honey than with horseshit. Just saying.
Unfortunately this is both true and sad . But I guess I just keep hoping they will see the advantages to talking with the employees that actually do the job.

I get a check every week for what I don't know.
Can you give an example, and how much did it cost?
At two previous P&D jobs I had suggested running the route and loading the trailer in a slightly different way to make it more efficient for me as the driver. Didn't cost the company anything and it let me get to a couple of additional pickups that were sometimes missed. On a road job I suggested a slightly different way to do a run which would preserve driving hours in cases of occasional delays. None of my suggestions cost another worker anything at all but made my job a bit more efficient and potentially made the company operate slightly more efficiently. We drivers out on the road know sometimes that there can be improvements that dispatch/supervisors are unaware of.
But do you go over that with your fellow brothers, and run it by you BA first.
No that is not what he is saying. What he is saying is that there is an enormous number of yard men not doing their jobs. When a unit is parked on the Ready Line it's not YRCF supervisors. It is our so called brothers and sisters who put them there NOT READY! BTW, if they won't do their FN jobs then maybe they do need to be eliminated, not the job just the BD who won't perform it correctly.
My fellow brothers no, my shop steward yes.
Ok. I did a premow inspection, filled the gas tank, mowed for 1.5 hours, and did a post mow inspection. Now sitting in neighbors driveway drinking a Michelob Ultra. Is this logged on line 4 ???? Drinking and not driving ??
All depends, are you sipping or chugging? They go on different lines.
Remember once you have exceeded the amount of alcoholic beverages and fall down, you must use 3 points of contact to get back up. Safety first.
At the small and medium sized YRCF terminals, get rid of the dock supervisors and let the Teamsters run things. Bid who will stay in the office and work the computer. As old as the work force is getting, you all know what needs to be done, it just takes a new way of Teamster thinking. It worked at the Big R for years before the merger. Just think about it, get the work done and then your all on your own.
