I'm a DWT(dock worker trainer). It's a five to ten minute conversation where you confirm that you understand OB53, the SWI for loading a safestack trailer. They told us the accountability part of this is coming hard and fast. Will it be perfect? Probably not but it's better than doing nothing, there's always room for improvement. In order to do it right people have to have three things. The Knowledge, the skill, and the will. This simply verifies the knowledge part. Knowledge and skill can be trained. Will is a different matter and its my understanding those people will be identified. The bigger part of this program is actually about standardizing the process of onboarding new hires. Dock workers and drivers alike. A problem has been that some terminals were doing 2 days of training, others were doing a week. Some kept you with someone others threw ya to the wolves so to speak. It's now standard, 3 days with the driver trainer doing videos, paperwork, and power points. Then 6 days on the dock with the dock worker trainer, regardless of whether your a dock worker or driver. First 2 days are no freight handling, trainee runs the handheld, learns about and assists with dropping decks, and freight securement with focus on proper procedure and WHY. Next 2 days trainee operates the forklift and handles the freight while the trainer operates the handheld, trainee still helps and learns about decks, dunnage, securement, etc. Last 2 days trainne does both freight handling and handheld with supervision of trainer. Towards the end of this training the trainee is asked to teach information back to the trainer to test knowledge and increase retention. The last day of the second week if the new hire is a dock worker they spend that day out with a p&d driver. The goal is to reduce damages by 9 million.
