[QUOTE="NHDRVR, post: 760299, member: 10327"] Your last point was an issue up here this week. We have been, like every other center I suppose, cutting routes left and right and they cut a Salem run which usually helped with the overflow to the Malls. The bright idea was to give the guy next to me a p1000 instead of his normal p7 and have him take Forever 21 and another stop to help out. This move ended up altering 4 different runs in the following way. The driver in the p1000 now starts his 'real' route an hour late so his air went to 3 other guys ( I was one of them). Being in a 1000 he was now unable to do his lake roads in the middle of his route so another driver had to take that split. Since he was going to be late for his pickup's they get another guy involved. 2 different loops are now trying to help each other out to cover pickups and the guy in the 1000 ends up with a 11 hour day and needed to be bailed out by a completely different driver. Yeah, the OT is fine although I don't want it. And I have always said if you want to make more money then do what your told since it takes longer when you do it 'their' way but it is so frustrating when you see a plan unraveled and you haven't left the center yet. Also, to be fair, I know the mgmt. team is given a magic # as far as runs are concerned and they have to follow it. It would be so refreshing though to see one with some stones that would actually do what was right instead of what they were told. [/QUOTE]
