[QUOTE="It will be fine, post: 2581131, member: 55017"] Unfortunately this forum is mostly disgruntled fedex workers, so most of the input will be negative. A lot of your questions will be dependent on your staff. Every night you can run a projection of what's coming. This includes cubic feet, so you can see if a bulk stop is huge boxes or envelopes. If all your routes are contiguous you can move stops between them after you run the projection. You just send an email telling the preload where to move it. Some people pay by the stop/piece others are salary. There are benefits to both. Stop/piece guys tend to be more willing to take extra work, but they complain the most when you take work away when you need to add another truck. I pay a salary and try to encourage a team approach where my guys all help each other out. My guys get a monthly bonus based on pickups, complaints and accidents. They don't miss pickups. I use a GPS system so I can watch my trucks all day. There are several companies that offer it. They help in monitoring driver behavior as well, limiting idling time, speeding, excessive braking etc. [/QUOTE]
