[QUOTE="JimJimmyJames, post: 603580, member: 11425"] Pump Up The Volume pointed out, if we were ever to go on strike again, PAS/EDD would allow replacement drivers to learn the job very quickly. Would they be delivering the same volume, per driver, that UPS has package car drivers doing now? Absolutely not. And that is why I think PAS/EDD would work better. Take away the add/cuts and the pressure to deliver 12 hours worth of work in 10 or less, and the system that is now in place just might work. Look, I hated PAS/EDD. It was the final nail in the coffin for me before I fled package and went to feeders. I did find it was a useful tool for delivering my route. But we all know it is now primarily expected by the company to be used to increase our productivity. It is not very good at that. But it probably is an excellent tool to guide new drivers in how to run a route. If UPS didn't have to pay what they pay us they would not have to run everything as tight as they do. And if they didn't have to run it so tight, productivity might not be such an issue and PAS/EDD might just work. But, would I give a nickel back to them for any reason, even if it meant less pressure at work? Only if what is happening to YRC was happening to us. And it's not :whew:. But then again, I can only say that now that I am in feeders :happy2:. [/QUOTE]
