Dec., Jan., and Feb. are historically the worst months. I think it can only get better from here on out.
Is it cheaper to pay 3 or more guys OT everyday than it is to cut the OT and bring a driver back?
I would imagine so. Bennies aren't cheap.
Luckily we haven't lost any drivers yet. We've lost the greaters and a couple part-timers. I think it's coming soon though at our terminal.

I am 100% against part time dock workers. Telling them that they are doing something wrong and showing them the correct way and when it is all said and done they say they dont give a F***. And most supervisors did nothing about it as long as the loads got closed. I hope the part time dock workers will be a thing of the past.
Trained ans supervised properly, they are an asset...left alone to run amuck, a liability..

I don't know what "ans" is, but if you are talking about part time dock workers, I agree, and have seen first hand what happens when they are given a forklift and sent to the dock with no more supervision than a 10 year veteran.
I have also had the experience of trying to explain proper loading techniques to some part timers, only to get that "deer in the head lights " look, and then continue loading their way.
No one cares as much about our freight as we do. A part timer, who knows that today may be his only day of work for our company will almost never care the way we do.:smilie_132:

I was also trying to figure it out!! lolans was supposed to be "and"...typing a bit quickly...
Ok, I didn't know if ans was some abbreviation for part timers that I never heard of, the sentence makes complete sense either way!:smilie_132:ans was supposed to be "and"...typing a bit quickly...
