[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 312051, member: 10234"] Years ago, you were only allowed to have a certain percentage (10%?) of accounts before 2:30. Didn't make sense then.....and still doesn't. I used to tell my p.m. accounts that I could show up anytime after 2:30 and as long as they were ready by then, there wouldn't be a problem. This worked fine for the most part. If they had one that needed to go later, I would come back if I could. Or they would meet me with it later or take it to the center themselves. Now we promise them later and later pickups without knowing what the situation is with the driver. That's part (if not most) of the reason we are dispatched heavier and heavier. Just to make sure we are out there that late to accomodate them. A lot of companies take advantage of the fact that they know we will bend over backwards for them. While I realize some pickup time decisions are made because of competition concerns, a lot of them are unneeded. i've had places that, no matter how late you get there, they still aren't ready. And probably never will be. I had less problems with pickups back when I used to get there earlier than I do now with a later schedule. [/QUOTE]
