How to fix service failures when detained loading/unloading?

You cannot fix other people's mistakes. All you can do is communicate the situation to your company. "Hey, I'm still here at DGAF Warehouse and nobody has loaded/unloaded anything. If I am not rolling out of here in 30 minutes I WILL BE LATE at ABC Warehouse. Then once you start rolling communicate your best estimate of your ETA to the next customer, plus a small margin for a bathroom break, traffic, delay getting fuel, etc.

The boss bought the truck with the speed limited to the speed he chose. The roads are as long as they were built to be by the engineers, and the speed limits are what they are posted to be. If the warehouse foreman soils his pants or your boss drives into the corner of the building at work it will be your fault because that is how trucking works.

 

I would suggest documenting stuff with screen shots and whatnot.

 

Just find another company to drive for..perhaps a big boy company that doesn’t count “service failures”, lol

Sounds like you work for a nanny company.

 

My thoughts exactly. Time to move on

 

What's a service failure?

You didn't preform for your wife?

 

I can't add anything else to what others have said. The way I see it.....you have a job. As long as you're working and getting paid, don't worry about stats like that. If they decide to fire over service failures, then you'll land on your feet quickly. Not only that, everybody knows how it is hauling meat of any kind, its always delays. If they haven't fired you after 10 service failures, they understand what you're going through.

 

Might we recommend Cialis or Blue Chew?? Lol
