[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1119816, member: 42691"] I don't know how long you've been driving, but your daily routine should ALWAYS be by the methods, by the book. This is a case where UPS's advice is very useful, turned on it's head. You know how they will talk safety, and tell you to always do this or that--EVERYTIME--just in case? Good advice, particularly when it comes to the methods. Do it by the book everyday, all day, then you won't need to worry about when they come after you and your job. There will always be days when you could, and can, easily take a shortcut to save time or avoid a hassle. Don't do it. Stay in the habit of doing things by the book. While they are pressuring you about numbers, maybe even threatening you about them, that's not what will get you fired. If they want you bad enough, they will just wait until you make a mistake, and fire you for that. It seems like so few drivers do the methods to the letter, every single day. Another thread can debate the reasons for that, but it is true. And for the most part, unless it involves an accident or service failure, UPS will never say anything about it. But once the target is on your back, you better be sure you're working flawlessly. A lot of drivers will moan about it, and say what a pain in the ass it is, but again, it is just a habit. It only takes a few weeks to get your methods in perfect order, but what torpedoes most routines is the shortcuts and lazy habits. Try it one day, no shortcuts, everything by the letter. Then start adding those days up. Like I say, a few weeks later, it will be your new routine. Then they can ride with you, bitch about numbers and harass you in every way you might imagine. That's ok, because when you start filling a file of grievances on them, you will be safe, knowing your methods are bulletproof. But you better be sure you're serious about it, because this isn't something you can just turn on and off for a few weeks at a time. If you do it only when they pressure you, I can guarantee that you will make a mistake, because you will be thinking about being perfect, instead of working like it. Now, you WON''T be absolutely perfect, but if your methods are airtight, any mistakes that may happen, should be very minor, and probably undetectable by the man. [/QUOTE]
