[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 951661, member: 12570"] I have found that although I can't equal upstate's 2 hours under,I have some tips to increase your planned day. [COLOR=#ff0000]2 hours under is not the norm--I am usually closer to .75 - 1.00 under. [/COLOR] 1-save deliveries that you have pickups at [COLOR=#ff0000]This will piss off those customers who are used to a morning delivery as they turn them around and send them out in the afternoon. [/COLOR] 2-enter all special counts into the diad,overweights etc [COLOR=#ff0000]This would help but I never do this. [/COLOR] 3- get out of the building as fast as you can,it looks like hell,but ignore it till you get your 10:30 commits off [COLOR=#ff0000]I rarely if ever sort during the day. [/COLOR] 4-don't take shortcuts after this,mileage is the major factor in time allowance [COLOR=#ff0000]This is poor advice, especially with Telematics. [/COLOR] 5-whenever possible,get a signature.Every signature you get gives you about 1 minute time allowance. [COLOR=#ff0000]This is also poor advice. Do the job following the methods. The only residential signatures I get are the ones the shippers pay for. [/COLOR] If you have 100 stops,and you get signatures for half of them,it adds 50 minutes to your planned day. [COLOR=#ff0000]Just do the job the way you are supposed to. [/COLOR] 6-document everything you do in the diad,meet points,late air,time lost etc [COLOR=#ff0000]This is good advice although there is no way to document any of these things in the DIAD. [/COLOR] 7-Take a few minutes to sort after you get your commits off ,sort bulk to the back,and smalls in order. [COLOR=#ff0000]This is a waste of time. [/COLOR] 8-Be aggressive yet friendly,let them know you are on a tight schedule [COLOR=#ff0000]It is possible to chat while delivering and maintaining a sense of urgency. [/COLOR] 9-When possible correlate your breaks close to your next stop. [COLOR=#ff0000]I assume you mean restroom breaks---I try to schedule these when I am at a stop with a public restroom but as I get older I find it is not always that easy. [/COLOR] !0-enter leave and return to building times accurately [COLOR=#ff0000]Well...duh. DS, if you put as much effort in to your job as you put in to this list you would have no problem running scratch.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
