[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 373958, member: 13254"] Stick with the methods and do not ever rush into a routine of running and allowing yourself to be at a greater risk for injury, trust me it will fly. Your daily routine gets smoother with area knowledge, many things you have to plan out and give a lot of thought too now will become natural which increases productivity. Beyond that there is really no way to safely beat the numbers. You have to take into consideration that the numbers you are trying to achieve are based on perfect loads and perfect situations such as getting out of the building on time, no late air, a truck that runs smooth and area knowledge. I can count on one hand how many times in a year this happens. I guess it is possible in other places but here it doesn't seem so. I am 15 minutes over allowed before I ever leave the building 95% of the time. As I am pulling out of the building I can hear packages falling off the selves to the floor, you don't get more allowances for fixing the mess, etc etc. Yesterday I wasted 15-20 minutes trying to help a little old lady get an ODS ground package shipped, she had no clue what was going on and it took a while to figure it out. Ended up with me telling her to take the package down to the local commercial counter to have them weigh, measure and ship for her. Because I had to cancel the ODS, I received no time allowance for that stop. Plan and simple the stress one puts themselves through (with the insistence of management) is the hardest part of this job. [/QUOTE]
