[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 189124, member: 4653"] :thumbup1: :thumbup1: My only advice. Arrive at the center before your supervisor does so you can witness him "messaging" the load. The only time 3 day rides happen is under ideal conditions. Its a proven fact. Supervisor rides with driver, paid day goes down and SPHOR goes up. Why? because said driver doesn't talk to his customers when the sup is there. So management rides with us. We don't socialize with our customers during the ride. Our SPORH goes up. They prove their point. The next day the manager tells us to find sales leads. This requires time in the form of customer contact. Customer contact is where the driver looses most of his time during time studys. My point is, we as drivers, are screwed either way. Don't get sales leads and run scratch. Get sales leads and make management happy, yet we are over-allowed on the "customer contact" part of the time study. As a UPS driver I hate the fact that non-union workers are taking our packages. I will do whatever I can to direct our sales reps to the largest accounts. Fact is though, we are getting taken to school by fed-ex and DHL. Its over us driver's head now. We need the management commitee to take over this problem now in my opinion [/QUOTE]
