[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1513077, member: 198"] At UPS there will always be the spoiled brat drivers and those that simply cannot be satisfied. But.......let me explain something about what I've experienced with PDSs. We've only had a couple of PDS supervisor and both were/are lazy as sin. Both flat out refused/refuse to fix DOLs. Both would/still does dispatch routes where 30 or more stops have the same PAL. Both built/build routes that make absolutely no sense. It is true that both (like any other PDS, On Car, or Manager at UPS) have had their hands tied by ridiculous and arbitrary stops per car metrics and the resulting over dispatched routes but more often than not the faults I just mentioned never should have happened. So, fast forward to now when we have ORION NAZIs spread across the country trying to implement a program that (at best is the equivalent of using a broken toilet plunger) kind of needs the center's DOL and PDS to be on track. Well, it is a disaster. And the PDSs made it worse than It already is. I'm not sure if every center's PDS is like that but from what little I've read about the subject on this forum I'd have to sadly assume that many are. Sorry....I'm just calling it like I see it. If that doesn't apply to you then don't sweat it. [/QUOTE]
