[QUOTE="soberups, post: 764486, member: 14668"] Its a mistake to think of your immediate management as "the boss". That would imply that they have the authority to make meaningful decisions about running the operation. They do not. While they do have the authority to tell us what to do while we are on the clock, the reality is that they are little more than intermediaries between those of us who perform the labor and those who make the operational decisions from the comfort (and ignorance) of an office hundreds of miles away. My building is located in Oregon, but all of our dispatch decisions are now being made in Seattle. The center manager has been reduced to a puppet who hands out warning letters and reads the PCM's that are sent from Seattle or Atlanta. Most of the underlying problems that I face on a daily basis as a driver will never be solved, for the simple reason that I as a driver will never have access to a decision-maker who has the authority to solve them.
