[QUOTE="Dustyroads, post: 669684, member: 22610"] Those who have worked on very rural areas know it's a different game in the country. Customers actually are flattered and pleased that a driver gives them their package in person where they work. The one in a thousand who prefer to have their package waiting on their porch when they get home will let a driver know. Another idea I have along that same line is creating a virtual card file. Drivers would submit information as to where a package could be indirected, then a supervisor would input that into the notes, so that when that address comes up, a cover driver would know the tricks. A rural cover driver could pull their really rural stops up, without scanning the packages, see if notes exist, void back the stop without scanning a package, and indirect it to the address on the note. In rural areas drivers indirect residentials to businesses frequently. However, some choose not to, in an effort to "bring in those miles" so neccessary for running underallowed. The real question is, could management accept a driver or center no longer running underallowed if they were saving 15% on their miles. That would be the difficult pill for the numbercrunchers to swallow. [/QUOTE]
