I think he proved the union WAS his problem in an earlier post. He solved that problem when he said he was going to request that his supplier quit using the union company to deliver his product. Non-union carriers can get it there on time, no need to pay extra for additional services!
I am not an officer of the Union. But thank you for the accolades. I am an employee of YRC Freight in Salt Lake City Utah. I am a member of Local 222 in the same city.
Again, I know nothing about an employee getting fired for not turning in DR's. IF this is true, then yes, he fired himself for not following company policy.....how hard is it to turn in your DR's?
Hell, had he been on the ball it would have been solved. He was BSing from the get go. This was nothing more than an attempt to shed a bad light on the carrier. The UPSF barn here in Salt Lake can move their start time up to two hours. My barn could have handled the request on the spot. If he new it was a time sensitive shipment beforehand, why did he not react accordingly? Poor management from the get go. Blow someone else's skirt up Racer.
Oh, I heard you change it up a time or two. You dropped the ball. You wanted premium service at a bargain basement price. When did you realize your time table became truncated? My guess is way to late to maneuver and make your commitment. We constantly deal with 3rd party companies that sell customers the world and when we arrive at destination with their shipment we find out all the empty promises the 3rd party gave them. What I do know takes place is a daily barrage of customers just like yourself that want it NOW! Our expedited shipments take precedence over others. That is a fact at every company that has a strong presence in the LTL market.
Why did you waste time with a second chance? I would have moved to another carrier on the first failure. Once again. You dropped the ball.
Now you blame it on a 3rd party!!!???!!!
Again, although we offer an expedited service, our freight generally arrives on time without paying the upgrade for this service!
This is an example of what a driver faces daily. Are you in this business or not? Third party logistics tell customers anything to get that shipment. You arrive at a residence to learn they told them we would give them an inside delivery. A 500 pound refrigerator would come to them with a liftgate free of charge. this happens all the time. where you been?
Generally and always are what got hornut into his pickle.
So know we can blame DOT regulations for your failure to react and move to another carrier? Damn man. Keep passing the buck.
I used to be in the city and when I was I slid it to the back of the truck....that's it. If they wanted to pay for inside delivery, I'd do my best to get it inside....if not, they could wrestle it inside themselves or I'd take it back and they could do a dock pickup. If it was brought out a second time, there was a re-delivery fee.
Are we having a discussion about moving freight or are you two so hell bent on attempting to slight a Union that you ignore facts? The first service failure would be more than enough for any competent manager to move to another carrier. PERIOD!
Pretty simple and all the while it gives your company a bad name. Joe customer tells his buddies what a bunch of jerks you are all because a 3rd party sold them the world. Word gets around. Yep, your 3rd party just bent you over. Back to the dock Unload it. Reappoint it. Reload it. Every time you handle that shipment there is a risk of damage.
