You don't view Lead positions as suck-up , or brown nosing prizes?In my experience, a lead (dockworker or driver) has the ability to run a sector on a FAC or in some cases, a inbound or outbound shift. As OV-10 said, no additional compensation.
And probably very good at solving problems that a regular super may not be able to solve, like stacking,stripping and staging freight. And has computer access, and knowledge of XPO programs.Our lead dockworker is trained on both inbound and outbound operations. He’s covered for both shifts.
Yes. Covers fos on vacations and covered when one has a medical emergency.And probably very good at solving problems that a regular super may not be able to solve, like stacking,stripping and staging freight. And has computer access, and knowledge of XPO programs.
Wouldn’t a prize be some type reward or gain (differential )for the extra responsibility ? I guess what ever floats one’s boat.suck-up , or brown nosing prizes?
Who covers for the lead driver work when he or she is covering for the FOS ?Yes. Covers fos on vacations and covered when one has a medical emergency.
It’s a name given to He or She who is most willing to take on the responsibilities of management for no additional compensation. Sometimes they are self appointed . Some would call them a sucker or Brown nose but I chose to refrain from that in order to not offend anyone.
Thanks for the Recognition.Absolutely incredible that an organization and personnel wizard like yourself is driving a Freightliner.
The best driver and HR man in America, drawing a check from XPO. Amazing.
Thanks for the Recognition.
Only 25 % ?The ethics hotline and regional HR team would like you thank you for creating 25% of their workload, too.
They report all of your suggestions straight to the CEO.
Another dock worker.Who covers for the lead driver work when he or she is covering for the FOS ?
For about three years before the merger with Yellow, Roadway started a program ( I forget the official name ) where we Teamsters worked without a supervisor.
We at Roadway ABQ. worked the inbound and outbound shifts without
supervision. When we would re-bid, one of the bids was being in the office and setting everything up and handling all the bills etc. etc.
Seemed like 95% of we Teamsters liked the program. There were others who were against
Roadway in Binghamton New York did the same thing about 12 years ago. Small barn maybe 16 doorsFor about three years before the merger with Yellow, Roadway started a program ( I forget the official name ) where we Teamsters worked without a supervisor.

So how is a money saving opinion. An FOS is paid a salary, where a driver is paid hourly with OT. FOS about 60K flat, a driver around 67K without OTIn my entire time at CCX,Con-Way and XPO our barn has never had a position titled as Lead. I Know that smaller terminals in our region that don’t have an FOS use drivers in their place as a money saving option.
So who covers the lead drivers work when the lead driver is on PTO?Who covers for the lead driver work when he or she is covering for the FOS ?
Which ones?I Know that smaller terminals in our region that don’t have an FOS use drivers
