It wasn't widespread in my part of the world (at least that I know of) but even one such episode is too many. I don't care if the BA can't stand the affected member. Their job is to defend that member's best interests, period!
Not in any handbook I am aware of, but all productivity metrics that are utilized in monitoring performance. As a whole for supervision and management. Down to the individual for dock and p&d. Due to all the variables you mention it is rarely looked at in a narrow time frame. Some p&d routes are going to have very different characteristics. Over time they know what each route should look like. When there's a day that's way off they look to see why. When there's a trend of being off they can make changes.
Yep, I could write another page or two about this same guy.
Did he have a heart attack due to hurrying and skipping lunch? Asking for a friend...
Ex, there were several people in Yellow who I am acquainted with who had "the gait of an octogenarian" for a good reason-they ARE octogenarians!! They were still actively employed. One of them was the #1 seniority road driver in Kansas City. Another (now deceased) was the highest seniority date in the entire company. He died on his night off. I think he was 86.
That's funny, except for the dying part. I worked with some older guys, but nobody that was older than early 70's.
The overall #1 guy was seniority 1957. He LOVED to drive. When he went on vacation, they usually got in the car rather than flying.
I know a guy who at 81 was still running road trips and pulling doubles. Of course at his age he had to pull them one at a time though.
He pulled them one at a time, huh? Sounds like he was from Scranton before it closed....I know a guy who at 81 was still running road trips and pulling doubles. Of course at his age he had to pull them one at a time though.

I've been called a lot of things, but that's a first for me.
My tractors ran 63 and pulled great up hill too. Maybe the throttle pressure you applied to the pedal with your foot was slacking?
Roll, that "slacking" when it reaches a small hill (as well as a big one) is called gravity. Your car does the same thing. In the city it's called congestion. It'll be OK Roll
Coming through the city many, but outside the city I had the cruise on.My tractors ran 63 and pulled great up hill too. Maybe the throttle pressure you applied to the pedal with your foot was slacking?
That’s where one of the major “gray areas” generated from but they really couldn’t be consistent about anything. A little personal story, around 10-12 years ago I got pulled and distracted during a pretrip and forgot where I left off, ended up dropping the trailer on the drives (we’ve all done it). They instantly sent me home for 2 day suspension (slow). The very next week two of our guys dropped them completely off and were told grab another unit and get back at it (busy). Absolutely made my blood boil when I discovered the sudden policy change and why. My steward wasn’t steward much longer after and my ba was as useless as they come.
Or possibly they came after you more harshly because they read your posts here on TB??
Nope! 10-12 years ago I didn’t know TB existed. I still was using my old trusty flip phone. Consider me a late arrival. My posts aren’t that bad, are they?Or possibly they came after you more harshly because they read your posts here on TB??
They learned he took his lunches????Or possibly they came after you more harshly because they read your posts here on TB??
