[QUOTE="talkwith, post: 605154, member: 25126"] When PAS was installed in our center we were expected to run 85% on trace. Of course, that almost never happens because virtually none of the drivers were consulted when they were organizing EDD. Only recently have they begun to talk about speaking to drivers about organizing their EDD. Apparently, corporate is going to start cracking down on the 80% or 85% trace issue. Regardless. It is your route and you can run it as you please as long as you deliver your time sensitive packages and businesses on time. Don't let your supervisor bully you into thinking otherwise. If your EDD is terrible run %100 for a couple of weeks. You will have so many missed packages, extra miles and overallow that they will beg you to help them straighten it out. Unfortunately, that is generally the only way to get things done in the current atmosphere . Skipping your lunch is a guaranteed way to get stops added to your route. And don't use your lunch to sort your car. That is part of your paid day. If they reprimand you about overallow tell them to train your preloader better and fix your EDD. Many of them want you to skip your lunch because it makes their numbers look better. Follow the methods. You will regret it if you don't. Use your dolly frequently. Use the handrail. Lock your door. Keep your keys with you at all times. Use your seatbelt. And follow the freaking speed limit. You are not required to break the speed limit. Never be afraid to invite your supervisor along for a ride. Often their attitude will change after riding with you. If you are over-dispatched it is not your fault. They expect you to get it done. Take your lunch. Walk at a normal pace. Let them know about missed pickups and businesses beforehand. It is worth the sacrifice now to let them know that you are not going to kill yourself for the company. They will stop expecting too much of you if follow the methods. They cannot hold you accountable for the average SPH calculated during a lock-in ride. Do not be intimidated by threats of discipline if you run less SPH. All sorts of factors can influence your SPH: weather, over 70's, CODs, traffic, number of packages etc.. Many supervisors want you to cheat to help their numbers. They know who isn't following the methods. But if you are boosting their numbers they don't care unless you get caught by an outside party. [/QUOTE]
