At my place, one word, MORALE. This is a statement, just just a whining paragraph.
Morale, well it has not improved since CK took over. Management is constantly being barked at from above for things out of their control. Drivers are told we need to step it up, but, each terminal has their screw offs who think this is all a joke, but they are not pulled aside and told their jobs are on the line. My routing is worse, running every which direction despite less freight on my trailer (which should make it easier?) Now by Noon dispatch is spitting nails, used to be 2pm. Repairs, or lack of, is a real problem. Maybe we should have a list of what it takes? 10th driver to write up truck, get it fixed. 5th driver to use a forklift to open his rear door, get it fixed. 20th driver to say a trailer tire is into the wear bars, fix it.
Forklift drivers, boy is that a story in itself since hours and benefits cut, the good ones try and hold their heads up and do what they can, but the idiots are acting worse, breaking skids doing 15 mph into a trailer using the skid in front for brakes, lifting 10 foot skids with 4 foot forks breaking skid and damaging product, stacking linehaul trailers when I walk by and can hear the bottom freight giving way just as they give it more throttle trying to squeeze something in where it shouldn't be.
i didn't think we had the best place before, but it was better than the last 3 months have shown me.
Whatta think?
