[QUOTE="dave_socal, post: 196262, member: 5582"] What I've experienced when I have to work as a package driver is the combination of both mandated meal periods and PASS implementation has created more routes and some B.S. . The re-looping of routes without regard to air stops, business stops, bulk stops has created extra work in our building. At first being forced to take my lunch by a certian time was in my view oppressive but as you give up more control of your day to PASS and other factors you learn to appreciate the rest more. A supervisor can now retrace your day and see why you're getting complaints from business customers who want an earlier delivery time. He/she can also see that you have too much business or too much residential, whether they do anything about it is another question. I see a benefit of less stress on the driver because his/her accountability has been reduced because of PASS and mandated meal periods. You can only do what you can do within the constraints of the diad and the law. I don't know if UPS resolved this to be the case when they implemented the PASS system without driver input but that has been the result. I like the PASS system over all but to get maximum benefit from it you need driver knowlege plus supervisor dispatch experience. The meal periods must now also be accounted for by law not some vague outdated time study. [/QUOTE]
