[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 434841, member: 14596"] That is sorta what the sales lead program is. Once the account is sold, you get rewards or comissions, based on the volume picked up. As to a pure commission per picked up piece, that is what FedEx Ground does, but they are currently involved in a massive class action lawsuit, so I am not sure that would be a good way to go. I am also positive the Union would have absolutely none of it. Look, the sales lead program is not perfect, but there are rules in effect in it for a reason. Just like the contract demands opportunities by seniority only to avoid favoritism and crony-ism, and take out the chaotic effect of trying to figure out who is more deserving, the rules in the sales lead program likewise prevent capriciousness. Look, say I was a DM, and said to Red and his pal "Yep, I am going to override this rule and give the lead awards to you, as you said you have been working with this guy for two years and someone in the local office called and said it was due to your efforts that the company switched." Now, I have made Red and his buddy happy, and screwed the guy in Wyoming. Now, seems this company is regional at least, if not national. So first off, how do I know that the guy in Wyoming was not working hard for two years and did not have just as much to do with the company deciding to switch? How do I know that this local guy in Red's area is really the decider for the companies shipping decisions? It may be from his perspective, Red's buddy was the main reason they switched. What that could really mean though, is that Red's friend was the main factor in this one guy voting to switch, but he may not be the only, nor the major deciding vote. The funny thing to me, is that back in the day drivers would bring in informal leads to their management who would funnel them to BD. This was done solely for the purpose of getting packages out of non-union competitors hands and getting that work into our company. So the company sets up a system to reward drivers for doing what they often used to do for the good of us all, and many start to whine and complain when they feel they did not get a big enough piece of the hand out.
