[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 529115, member: 13254"] Theichii, I am sorry to say, you are not going to get many thumbs up from this site. The majority of the folks here are hourly and most take a deem view of management. I was told by a center manager many years ago that one of first things they looked for in the letter of intent was the overall attitude of, " I want to make a difference". They look for people that not only want to make that difference but those that are willing to, "Do whatever it takes". Young men and women that are enthusiastic, full of spirit and self confidence, people that will put the company first in all their actions. These are the ones they want to promote, yet the company structure does not allow someone on the lower rungs of the corporate ladder to make a difference. You state that you wonder if you can make people like the dispatch, that is a lofty goal. IMO, if you were allowed to adjust dispatches to any reasonable degree, the company would have to allow you to add more routes on road daily and it has been proven time and time again that the men and women just to rungs above you will not let that happen. Trust me, there are very few drivers that you can make like the dispatch without lowering the number of stops in the truck. There are many other areas that need improvement to bring us back to the idealistic views of Mr. Casey, most are as unreachable as the dispatch question. Take a good close look at your mangers and ft sups. How many years have they been in the positions they hold, do you admire them as stand up guys, do they make a difference? If they do make a difference, how do they do so? If they don't, why not? If you go on with this plan, I suggest you decide what these management people do that you believe to be wrong and do everything you can to NOT do the same things. Do what you can to emulate the traits you admire. Above all, never let them make you less of a person than you are. Good Luck to you, you will need it. [/QUOTE]
