Working the dock may very well happen, but as for productivity.......well, I would be reading every label on every box, making sure the consignee info matched up, the piece count was absolutely correct (don't want to get out counted by a customer) doing the job entirely by the book, including making sure the trailer was .......ahem.... properly placarded or placards taken off.

As for hostling, those doggone automatic transmissions, haven't figured them out yet on a hostling mule. It's kinda hard to read the door numbers on the yard and its always tough to read those pesky trailer numbers.

i hear ya man. working the dock at my home terminal is part of my line run. i try to work quickly there, but if i ever had to do a work off i would certainly make it worth my while.

i'm not entirely certain about the 4th-6th hour deal, it's just something i was told by another driver. i am sure about the stupid lunch break + 30minutes deal. if it's a straightup 30 minutes where you are, i wouldnt even mention it.

If they didn't make such stupid expectations, we would not need nearly as many managers and district managers. They make up stupid numbers then demand everyone to make it happen. Lets boot most of the mangement and get back to trucking and make some money for the company.

the bad part is the upper level management that everyone dislikes are getting bonuses this year. the TM's and supervisors are not and we have had to wait on our raises for months. would it not make sense to reward those on the frontline for the job they did if the company did well enough to issue bonuses?

Kinda like taking advantage of the company, by the company, with the company's blessing. Can you say "the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer?"
