[QUOTE="PACNW, post: 1118697, member: 28323"] Agreed. Managers have had the ability to manage taken from them over the last several years. Everything is mandated. This is why I got out of management 10 years ago and refuse to go back whenever I am pressured to put my letter in. There are periods when there is a big push for "range of dispatch" meaning keeping as many drivers as possible between 8-9.5 hours. Then the Div. Mgr. will call down arbitrarily one day and insist on cutting routes and ROD goes right out the window. I can't speak for big centers, but in smaller super rural centers like mine when we cut routes miles can go up by as much as 40 miles or more. So, a route that might normally go out with 70-75 stops and 250 miles with a 9-10 hour plan, now has 85-90 and 300 miles. [/QUOTE]
