One way to make positive changes is for corporate to talk to the employees (dock and drivers) WITHOUT managers around. At my place most drivers are the biggest whiners I have ever worked with, some EVERY morning looking at their sheets saying they are getting so F&&&&d,,,,,,, how do you do that being paid by the hour? Give me your 10 stops that each one is an hour instead of my 25 drops running my but off, it is the 25 stopper who is working too hard for what he gets paid for, not you. At our "safety meetings" hardly anyone will speak up, but bet my last dollar before the meeting everyone is pissy about something, then after the meeting some run to TM's office to continue the talk, others form a group outside and discredit the day's speech. I think this is along the same lines as the equipment, so many complain, but look at their sheets,,,,,, yep,,,, checked OK and went home. If it is not right, note it!!!! Now with DOT season upon us, if it is not noted, and you get nailed, how do you back yourself up when safety calls and ask why were you even driving a truck in that condition? You, as the driver, are the last line of defense for the public and yourself, but most just don't care
