[QUOTE="HomeDelivery, post: 992410, member: 33696"] yeap, I whip out the [B]Sorry, we missed you [/B]door tag & start filling it out as I say, "FedEx going once... FedEx going twice... GONE!" & slap the tag on the door ---------------------------- [LEFT][COLOR=#000000][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/LEFT] that's just it, bbsam... some of these vets don't give the info to the dispatcher so they can tweak it to maximize the routes. So when it comes time for me to cover their areas, i'll be out there up to 14 hours on some days. A smart dispatcher should reduce the load a bit to counteract the slower stops-per-on-road hour or at least have a common-sense trace of the area so i don't loop back to the same streets over & over in the same day. I think it's made so that anyone can jump in & do the route when the regular/vet driver calls out sick or quits. I've been doing that since 2006. your division's program may be different because you'll have pickup deadlines & we don't... so you may need to have to loop back to certain areas in a given day. we just need to have every package in our vehicles accounted for by the end of the day [/QUOTE]
