[QUOTE="soberups, post: 315088, member: 14668"] We disptach about 200 routes per day out of a building that was theoretically designed with 124 parking spaces but is adequate for maybe 100. Our facility was built "on the cheap" in 1987, and was obsolete and overcrowded 6 months before it was even completed. It was never designed to allow P1000's to park inside....to save money they just operated under the fantasy that all we would ever use were P6's. Future growth was never planned for. All of our package cars have scrapes on them because they are parked so close together as to be touching. We have conveyer belts instead of boxlines, so when bulk stops come down the belt there is NOWHERE to put them. A few routes have stack tables, but if two P1000 routes are parked facing each other only one can have a stack table or they will be bumper to bumper and unable to get out. Our center has 85 drivers, and our "dispatch office" is slightly larger than a broom closet, one little 8'x10' room with another tiny office for the Center Manager that is so small that you can barely fit chairs in there next to the desk. The "locker room"? 40 lockers in a 6X8 closet with two toilets. Most driver dont even have a locker at all. Its comforting to know that our management's solution to the overcrowded conditions is to encourage us to solicit even MORE volume to drown in. [/QUOTE]
