[QUOTE="AKCoverMan, post: 508436, member: 17867"] Of course we are going to see knee jerk reactions from the company as volume trends down and we have 72 hours or more a day of cable TV news pouring out gloom and doom news about the economy. I was picked one day a couple of weeks ago for a ride along by our CMs boss! We never see him in browns! He said it was becuase for the prior week I had been 2.5 over allowed or more every day. He didn't say it in so many words but I got the feeling we was mandated from even further up the food chain to find the driver with the most over allowed the week before and do a ride along with him. Someone had to be on the top of that list and that week it was me. The week that I was over so much I was covering a good route that I know well and was finishing every day about 1700 every day; but at the same time the dispatcher had been cutting a route in one of the other loops (our 100 loop) out of our building and sending the other three drivers in that loop out in the red. So everyday I would finish the route I was covering then the center would have me go over and do a driver meet and help one of the 100 loop drivers. There is of course no additional allowed time to call the other driver, find him on his area and meet up, transfer packages, then get to the area he just kicked to you and start delivering. Your over allowed goes thru the roof. The day of my ride along I was on the same route I had covered the week I was so over allowed but did not help anyone after. Amazinging I came in with acceptable numbers that day. I did not do anything spectacular or different I just did not go help anyone when we were finished. I have noticed they are not so quick to cut that route in the 100 loop anymore. Oh and the boss bought my lunch. All in all it was a pleasant day, this is not one of the "beat down" type bosses.
