at our last driver meeting we were told that the a.m. dock will no longer be allowed to bay more than twelve percent of shipments. so p&d routes will henceforth be loaded in whatever order they happen to come in. this means that my first stop may be on the tail, but after that, freight for any given consignee could literally be anywhere in the load. tuesday i pulled a stuffed-full 48-footer on an outlying route, and it was in no order whatsoever.
anyone wearing a red shirt in this company would read this and tell me to stop whining. but think about it: not only am i being set up to fail in reaching my stops-per-hour goal, i'm also now expected to ask customers to move 6-8 pallets of someone else's freight to reach theirs. i'm already on a high-pressure route where we are implicitly expected to skip breaks and work through our state-mandated lunch period. and now this?! way to screw the driver AND the customer. this company has its priorities completely backwards.
