[QUOTE="rngri4, post: 114619, member: 1599"] Just FYI I was a driver before I became a PDS, and I am not arguing at all that EDD isn't right, because it isn't, that isn't my job though, we have a "dps supervisor" who is supposed to fix that, and rarely does. However, when someone has a 6 hour planned day on a route, and runs it in 12 hours, therein lies the problem. The majority of UPS Drivers are great people, and some of the hardest workers you will ever run into, however in every center, there are least one or two bad apples that just plain can't do the job. I ran a route for a while, and was able to deliver 100 stops and scratch, however on the same route, with a driver who just bid it, he is only running 60, and it takes him twelve hours, that is my biggest complaint. Don't gripe and moan to me when I can do it better myself, and I am even overweight...lol.
