[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 276905, member: 4653"] Here is the problem as I see it, and its just my opinion. It comes from corporate. They told the people running the center operations to reduce miles and have each route connected to its surronding route in such a way that every driver in the loop ends in the same area. This would work great if there was no commit times or headaches such as schools and businesses closing at normal times (unlike the UPS driver). Previously, routes were set-up and to run a certain trace as to knock off all your businesses and schools in an efficient manner and then some residential that can be done at any hour. This all changed with PAS, just so work can be added or cut between drivers. Now we have entire office building loaded in section 7000. This doesn't do anybody (company or customers) any good. We are now told to "break" to make service? It just seems to defeat the purpose in my mind to drive an extra 3 miles to save .5 miles in your return to building miles. It defies logic to do things this way. I'll try to give you a brief example. I think in my center they want everyone to finish close to the major interstate (This makes excellent sense in most cases), but shouldn't be applied to my route. He has me starting at the interstate, drving up maple st (a "state" highway into the next town and the back down the othe side of maple st back to the interstate. If this was it, it would be great. But to make the model work, he has me going from here all the way back into the next town (its 2 miles 1 way) to do residentials that are traced back down towards the interstate. So he has me driving the vehicle 2 miles with no delivering! I do 2 hours off pickups starting at 3 and ending at 5. My final pickup is 50 yards from the interstate. Problem is I have 30 residential to to after that pick-up. So what I do is run the residential backwards from that pick-up and go back to the building from a secondary road which takes 15 minutes as opposed to driving down to the interstate and back which would take close 30 minutes and more miles. I hope I was clear in my post. It just doesn't make any sense to me:sick: [/QUOTE]
