[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1124376, member: 24302"] At my last station we routinely met up with other couriers to hand off outbound while we stayed out to finish deliveries on a heavy day. And that was extended areas where we'd drive 20-25 miles to meet up. There seems to be a focus on how these appointments will mess up our onroad goals, etc. The point of the onroad numbers is to provide a structure that motivates a courier to finish his work in an acceptable timeframe, not stretch out his day and cost them more. If they now want to make later deliveries then they can organize rts around getting that done. Meet ups to hand off outbound, dedicated appointment couriers who start later in the day, that sort of thing. It's not rocket science. And yes, it would be nice if we could all start at 0730 and be off at 1630 and get paid well to do little, but it's not the nature of this business. It does require flexibility, which we should be compensated better for. But until the economy heats up and companies start competing for workers we will have to take what they are giving to meet our obligations. Not because we like it, think the company is swell, are brown nosers or anything thing like that. It's the harsh reality of the current economy. [/QUOTE]
