[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1327795, member: 52978"] 30 years ago, there were no diads, no computers, just a preloader who you were at the mercy of. There was a driver who had a delivery area about 20 miles north of me. Problem was, a lot of our streets were a lot alike. I got oak village, he got village oaks, I got sweetgum rd and he got sweetgum st, etc. Invariably, the other guy would get 2 or 3 of my stops and I'd get 2 or 3 of his. You had to run all misloads back then. It wasn't that big a deal for him because he had to drive back through my area to get back to the building, but I had to go maybe 40 miles out of my way. We got to where we would stop at my first stop and park side by side and go completely thru our loads. A supervisor drove by and saw us one day. I got called into the office the next day. The center manager wanted to know why we were pulled over, "stealing" time and give me a good reason why I don't fire both of you! Here we were, trying to prevent service failures, and cutting down on OT, and he accused us of stealing time. I went back to the way it was, and it cost them dearly..I got off once during peak at 11:30pm. On a side note, you know you're getting old when I saw my old preloader get a 25 year circle of honor award. [/QUOTE]
