[QUOTE="brown67, post: 689735, member: 5457"] I bid a route about 10 years ago where the previous driver had been been skipping his lunch. Needless to say the sup came down hard on me over my numbers being an hour worse than the previous driver. Was pressuring me to skip my lunch. Got great advice from a senior driver who told me to turn it around on the sup. Whenever she started harassing me in the morning I would just ask her for a ride along. I would play a little dumb and just tell her to come out with me and I would ride in the jump seat and she could show me how to run the route scratch. Every sup I know hates going out on route all day with a driver, especially if you have a 10+ hour day. Also, they hate delivering. What happened with me is the sup just starting leaving me alone. It works quite well. Sup knows your not intimated, and they have a really hard time pressuring you, because they know you'll just turn it around and ask them to come out on a ride along. Most sups like yours use fear to motivate and a lot of drivers will react with fear or anger. When you turn it around on them and start asking for help it puts the sup in awkward situation. Can't discipline, because you are asking for help, and if you do get pulled into the office you can say the sup won't help you. That you want a ride along, and help from the sup to show you how run your route faster. Put the ball in his court to have him demonstrate how to run your route scratch. [/QUOTE]
