[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1165175, member: 14668"] 1. I dont care about my NDPPH 2. I'm going to be working around packages anyway; if those closures werent loaded in the car then other stops that I [I]actually had to deliver [/I]would be. 3. It is a given that whatever dispatch I wind up with on the 5th will be hopeless. The routes are loaded based upon a Stops Per Car metric demanded by IE; whether or not it is humanly possible to actually [I]deliver[/I] those stops in less than 13 hours is not a factor in the decision making process. 4. Every "dead" (closure) stop you can fool them into loading into your car equals one less "live" stop that you will be dispatched with and therefore bringing back at 8:30 or 9:00 at night and sheeting as missed. Pulling over and scanning 2 hours worth of "dead" stops as holiday closures might only take you 15 or 20 minutes, which has the net result of giving you an extra hour and 45 minutes of delivery time thus [I]reducing[/I] by that amount the number of [I]missed[/I] stops you will be bringing back that night. 5. Remember that we arent dealing with rational human beings who care about service. We are dealing with IE people who want to see an arbitrary Stops Per Car metric on a report. Pumping your stop count up with holiday closures helps to generate the number they want to look at while at the same time giving you at least a glimmer of hope at avoiding missed stops. [/QUOTE]
