[QUOTE="New Englander, post: 465792, member: 15249"] I do have an opinion. It seems like the crutch for people who are mired in mediocrity is to attack people who plain just work harder. Sure I speed. Every morning when I get on a route that involves using the local highway the posted speed is 65mph. Some of our P1000's will do 70mph. So just like EVERY driver in our center we floor the vehicles while driving the highway. Unless weather dictates us not to. I don't know about you BUT I certainly can't speed on the icy/snow covered back roads. You know the ones with limited sand thrown down as towns are cutting costs. Heck most of these roads it's hard to maintain the speed limit on summer days with the wash board. I certainly don't go "overly slow and cautious" as some do. Yet I'm also not driving on the edge. Your also wrong. I don't run - I don't have the energy or stamina for that. Tried it a couple times, way too embarrassing when you need to talk to the customer and can't because you can't get a breath in. I do have a very quick and strong walk pace that has most supervisors breathing hard to keep up with me. I'm very smooth on my normal daily methods, as wrong as some probably are. They work for me. My bulkhead is closed. If the regular driver leaves his key in the bulkhead, I leave it there for him as well. I do not waste time. If I stop to grab something to drink? It's on my two ten minute breaks that I combine as a twenty. I am strong. I have been reprimanded for working unsafely do to the amount I will lift and carry before I grab the handcart. Especially in the snow. This I'm sure will change as I age. Though it's a very limited part of my day. So.....since I walk at a very quick pace. Do not waste time and spend the absolute minimal time possible without being rude to the customers I've never had my production called into question. Most times my numbers are better then the regular drivers. Though there are three regular drivers that I do cover that ARE more efficient then I am on their routes. You can call it what you want. My personal belief is that at my rate of pay it should require me working as hard and safe as I can. As I do. [/QUOTE]
