[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 320961"] They say our volume is down, but we're doing pretty close to what we were before peak. Maybe off by 1000 or so packages on some days but divided by 125 drivers that doesn't necessitate the mass panic that seems to be taking place at my center about hours. I mean I know less volume is bad for the company but cutting routes left and right, overloading preloaders (for the amount of time given) just causes service failures and causes drivers to be out longer costing more money (not that I'm against them making their $$). I've never been able to figure out why they won't give preloaders more time to get the job done right instead of pushing them to the brink. They pay for it two times over with drivers on OT rate as a result of servicing a misload (or meeting another driver) and the price of fuel to run the gas hogs known as package cars. [/QUOTE]
