Best way to use map efficiently without wasting time.

Ok....that would be the second and third time I have ever heard of a Safety Committee member doing something that actually matters.

Just curious, rather than sit back and criticize, have you ever stepped up to try to make a difference?

Pot, meet Kettle.

I am on the safety committee and am in charge of the recycling and sales lead programs in my center.

And I can respect that.

But, you bring a lot more criticism here than positive reinforcement.

I was briefly involved many years ago but it very quickly became apparent to me that there was no point in wasting my time. I wanted to address actual safety issues; they wanted to recite acronyms and hand out water bottles and doughnuts. The grievance procedure is a far more effective took for addressing safety issues than a committee comprised mostly of peoe who (a) have their letter in for management or (b) would rather color posters in the office than deliver packages out in the rain and cold.

Our safety committee has little credibility in my eyes because the will only address what management wants them to address. Anything that would cost money such as reflective vests or small first aid kits get shot down but coming up with a new acronym for the DOK is just dandy.

If he wants to work beyond a steady pace after he makes book then its nobody's business but his. I hate when you oldtimers tell me to slow down. When I'm slinging boxes, I dont even have time to chit chat. Im focused, and be useful to the operation.

You ain't even have time to chit chat sonny?

In charge of recycling? In our building that would consist of a manager going truck to truck as we pull into our spots at night begging for our empties.

We have expanded our center recycling beyond cardboard and pallets to include paper and plastic.

Do you get to punch in early to recycle??

Sales lead program??? Did they get rid of your BD dept?

Best way is to buy the county map(s) of the area you are working. Also get a good regional map that shows all the roads. Make copies of delivery area you are working in and put them in clear plastic binder pages. Pull them out and add number breaks... use a clip board for when you need to take a quick glance. That way you can just leave it on the dashboard. Store the pages in a binder for any new route you learn and you will have a great resource for covering routes.
