[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 796845, member: 18225"] I'm outside of Boston, clearly not in the Central Supplement. Like Sleeve said, it's a little different here in the northeast. I'm not sure my center even knows the previous week where they're going to send me the next week...it's often last-minute. Friday I sat in the building for thirty minutes while my center management team tried to figure out what was going on. In the end, I could have started the route I ended up driving at the normal start time, but for some reason it was a cluster-eff all around. I got a thirty minute late-start, had to run a bunch of air that got left behind, and ended up starting my route at 11:00. It was non-ideal. I called in my misloads (that's one of the latest flavors of the month around here), and I was instructed to deliver them. Forty extra minutes for two basic packages - guess we didn't make any money on those! I had twenty stops that weren't in EDD (add-cuts that didn't make the cut...), and my splits seemed to be chosen by a blind dart-player. I could have punched out at 1900 with a start time of 0845. Instead I punched out at 2030, for no real good reason. That's logistics! [/QUOTE]
