XPO | First in First out rule

[wonderring99]

Wow driver...didn't know there was a terminal in the area that can hit all three of those FAC's. And leadership sucks for enforcing the company no smoking policy and reporting to the sectors so drivers aren't out in their trucks stealing time, and therefore money from the rest of us? And I don't know of any terminal that would reward a DSR for running with a flat - that's a safety hazard.

Micro brew had to move because of black friday. He has been to all three of those reships.

Seniority isn't the best, neither is 1st one in.

You have 3 guys all with 15 years service, all million milers and within a months starting date going to the same fac for years. One driver shouldn't be able to dictate the schedule of the other two because he signed up a few days earlier 15 years ago. To complicated matters more, the senior driver has used more vacation/pto days than the other two so he has actually worked less days for the company and the second driver actually had his interview before the first guy but didn't sign his papers first.

Or you have two drivers, one lazy on the verge of being fired with 5 months and the other hardworking never been late with 4 months. The 4 month guy's overall dock production is vastly superior to the lazy one's. Why should the FOS not be able to keep the 4 month guy on the dock?

How about there be a rotation (between the bid guys). That way no ones happy and no ones pissed. The
drivers aren't unhappy because a rotation is a fair way to do it and the FOS isn't unhappy because he can still get his best worker on the dock for more time.



Since when is any job a democracy? This forum isn't even a democracy and you think your job is supposed to be and its Obama's fault it isn't? I've never gone to any job thinking I should be able to tell my boss what to do. So now its onto blaming Obama that we have bosses at our jobs, when will this end???? What about the military, is that supposed to be a democracy too?

This one really left me scratching my head.

To begin with if there is drivers not doing their jobs , no matter how many years they have , they need to go. If this left you scratching your head then there is no way I can explain it to you. It is all pretty simple. This Company became what it once was because drivers knew that if they worked hard and put in their time that they would be rewarded with seniority to have choices over drivers that hadn't been there as long. LIKE I SAID , if they don't do their jobs they need to be canned.
When I joined the Marine Corps I knew up front that it was not a democracy but a Dictatorship protecting the Democracy of a Nation. This Country was founded on Freedom and Democracy not Socialism . If you want Socialism , Marxism , and Communism move to another Country . Those of us who has served , fought and bled for these values will continue to do so no matter what the Left Wing and those who believes they are Entitled think .

Policy states that it is first in first out, as long as each driver makes his gate time. If driver A leaves at 2030 and driver B at 2045 and driver B beats him down there, it doesn't matter as long as Driver A made it to the FAC on time. If he lolly-gags or anything like that, he missed his gate and slides down a spot. As far as leaving first, the first driver can pass on leaving to someone under him if he wants. It's the "ask from the top, force from the bottom." Same goes for Via's, as long as he has the hours available to complete the run. Our FAC actually follows this to a "t" out in in cali, which is odd considering we ignore everything else.

Incorrect. Per written policy,driver CAN NOT pass. They can pass down a via but ONLY if there are loads available for him to go home. And at that point he must take his loads and go home, and the next guy is forced on the via. If there are not loads available to go home, that first driver is forced on the via.

Ask management for a copy of the policy. They should have one available upon request.

I repeat, it should be the driver's choice. Some of us want the extra work, and some of us don't. Let those who want it have it!

Correct

Hoosierbilly is correct. You can only pass on a via if there is two loads for you to go back home. If there isnt two loads to go back home, you have to take the via. Although it should go by senority, It doesnt, if your first in and two loads are ready for you to go home and the sector boss is kicking drivers out, you have to go. You cannot pass it up to less senority driver. That is the rule. I know, that rule isnt always followed, and in most cases, it isnt followed. But at XCW, it is followed to the T and it is the companies policy. The big problem is, this company wont put any policies in writing, so most reships dont know the rules. So most reships do what they think is right and go by senority. Which is the way it should be and the only fair way to do it.
