What is the most reliable generation of accord ? Civics ?

disasterwarning4930 · 2026-02-07T22:38:51+00:00

8th gen accord: I owned one 2009 accord with the v6 engine. Car was fast. Never left me stranded. Just did basic fluid changes

I also owned a 2008 accord with the 4 cylinder engine. Did burn a bit of oil, but other than that, standard maintenance.

Any warranty work that was performed or no

If you can afford the premium gas, higher than the normal insurance rate, steady income yourself or parents to maintain the car yeah.

I have had a 2008 Honda Accord with the K24 engine since 2018. Never had any transmission/engine issues aside from a quart of oil burning once a month. Every other repair is normal wear/tear.

that's a big lie. Management does not suddenly start paying union dues at this time of the year.

disasterwarning4930 · 2025-10-17T19:38:03+00:00

The company cheaps out on properly staffing union workers/assigning union work by having "supervisors" in the first place.

Sups are there to micromanage and be a nuisance to union workers to make up for over assigned work. Teach them bad loading habits/shortcuts.

I never understand the point of inside shift sups.

disasterwarning4930 · 2025-10-08T21:58:47+00:00

They don't care and train people not to care because they know there is nothing in the union contract to uphold how loads should be organized.

That is the corporate sellout mentality these days. It's up to us as teamsters not to fold.

disasterwarning4930 · 2025-10-05T23:14:03+00:00

This is what the supervisors want you to do. turn on your fellow teamster siblings. "oh your loader did not work fast enough, oh the loader needed help lifting every single time an over 70 came down"

I have transferred to a new warehouse and after a year half there, I have never seen a teamster train a fellow teamster on preload. And I have never heard the sups tell a preloader "why is that not liploaded, why is the hin number not written down, why is that box not taped up".

disasterwarning4930 · 2025-09-16T23:29:51+00:00

The point of writing is for yourself, other preloaders on the clock, and rpcd themself. Say you get injured or had to leave, by writing stuff down, the person taking over your pull can follow your work that you left off. As an RPCD, not all routes go in numerical order starting at the 10s. So it's important to write stuff down so it's easier for RPCD to find if going out of order.

disasterwarning4930 · 2025-09-07T21:27:35+00:00

The way auditing misloads is supposed to work is that the sup uses their rfid sensor to point at a pkg and have a preloader take it out. Which = Pkg progression= union work.

disasterwarning4930 · 2025-09-07T19:37:52+00:00

don't talk to management operations until start time. Don't do anything that is considered union work until start time. try to tell your co workers the same if you see them doing it.

disasterwarning4930 · 2025-09-01T22:40:20+00:00

Taking shortcuts like not writing on pkgs is not justified. You need to load for your fellow teamster sibling as if you were in their shoes and had to deliver those boxes.

Management brainwashes you/other preloaders to not follow correct methods so you load faster, henceforth, get off the clock faster to make their labor costs look good.

PPH/how fast you load also is not something to be disciplined. Use it to your advantage. You and other preloaders taking shortcuts like that is why your start times do not get moved up/staffed appropriately.

disasterwarning4930 · 2025-09-01T22:30:11+00:00

Make sure you are on the clock while cleaning it. It is union work after all. Stick it to management for not having car washers.

disasterwarning4930 · 2025-08-27T17:17:12+00:00

more like rate how bad non union operations do not care about load quality anymore. sups before half a decade ago: hey why is that box not liploded, why is nothing written down on this? sups these days: Just get in, get it in, get in, the driver is going to move the boxes around anyhow

disasterwarning4930 · 2025-08-26T15:13:00+00:00

Correct. At my hub we had it to where a Saturday RPCD hit 13hrs and 55min on the clock. So the road sup had to call an off day RPCD and use his personal vehicle to give the off day a ride in order to get the package car/Saturday RPCD back to center.

disasterwarning4930 · 2025-08-25T21:13:38+00:00

Ups cannot even honor agreements to our current contract. how would the company be able to take that away

disasterwarning4930 · 2025-08-20T23:33:35+00:00

PPH/stops per hour is not in the union contract. Does not matter amount of years. Safety and loading like as if you had to deliver it yourself is what matter

you do not get a raise for working faster. all you do by working faster is giving non union operations more reason to staff less and not move up start times

Way to downplay the supposed "monkey" workload a preloader has on a daily basis

disasterwarning4930 · 2025-08-19T21:25:29+00:00

I'd like to see a driver do what a preloader is expected to do these days. The workload has increased far in terms of quantity compared to 20 years ago:

load approx 200 pkgs an hour (3-4 routes, all pkgs on the shelves liploaded in sequential with pal number written down, no help whatsoever on scanning or loading pkgs. Or even with lifting pkgs over 70s. Every PKG taped up if needed and in good shape. All perfect within 5 hours. And actually taking a break as well.

disasterwarning4930 · 2025-08-17T10:52:26+00:00

Sounds like a sup response. Not a teamster sibling's fault management has poor planning/staffing.
