Always the driver.
If they get the ticket, it is their fault - no exceptions.
FedEx ground at some hubs has a habit of overloading some trailers, which seems to be a bit of a problem for those who run honestly so several drivers out of that hub have their first stop at the scales every time and 6 out of 10 times they are returning to the hub to get that trailer off of their trucks.
Just to be argumentative... NOT ALWAYS THE DRIVER.....in a LTL freight co the driver has NO control. so at YRC,ABF, etc it would not be the driver. We hauled US Mail for years and never blamed the driver. But yes, in 90 % of situations now it is on the driver. Since deregulation and de-unionization more and more gets put on the driver; even some stuff that shouldn't be.
Excuse for it being on the company.
Roadway gives me a set of doubles. I break down and they tow me out a mack that weighs 1000# more than the FL 120 that broke down. My fault ?
They send me into customer A and say pu trl # 223 that has 42000# on it. Customer loaded 45000# by mistake. I get caught, maybe on way to cat scale. My fault ?
Sometimes we need to let common sense prevail.
Yeah, when the Mack comes I do a pre-trip. That doesn't tell me the weight of either power unit. On the overloaded trl I contend it is a problem to be handled by the company. They should bill back to shipper and put safeguards in place so shipper knows what can go on each type of equipment and let the shipper the penalty for future overloads. Decisions made by the driver can be the driver's problem. All problems that occur cannot be blamed on the driver.
...in face not having a union empowers the driver even more because the union sometimes gets in the way of safety.
I agree with the union never standing in the way of safety. But I must disagree with the union never standing in the way of productivity. I was with a non-union LTL carrier and we were more productive because we weren't bound by some of the silly union work rules.In 21 years of union membership the union never stood in the way of safety or productivity.
LTL drivers are some of the hardest working drivers out here.
