Hi all
I received a written warning at work last week which seems abit harsh to me and was just after some opinions.
I drive a concrete truck and our fleet has just had gps tracking put in all our trucks a few weeks ago and i thought id try using the gps to get to a job instead of using the UBD like i always do . I was going to an unfamiliar suburb. I entered the address and went on my way, when i got to the job i realised the trip had taken an extra 10 or 15mins as the gps had taken me around the country.
The job was really slow and and by the time i was half unloaded the site manager requested my docket then sent my truck away as it had been 1.5hrs since my truck was loaded and i was directed to dump the rest of the load at the tip.
What also didnt help is the time on the docket is only the time when it was printed and not loaded and iwas still on my break at the time it was printed so 10min was lost here then another 10 - 15min lost while on route so that would have made up the extra 20 - 30min i needed..
Any way i was blasted by management and had a written warning to go with it, i cant remember the exact wording on the letter as its in my truck but it was becuase the load got sent away.
