[QUOTE="DS, post: 494572, member: 556"] One of my biggest shippers on my route has been shipping out 7 to 20 SKIDS of REVENUE a day ever since they moved to the area.Well our mngmt team has been ORDERED to cut back,and stopped the five ton from doing the daily pickup.Instead,they have drivers from nearby all break off route and take a skid or two.The company has to get 2 employees to cut open the sealed skids and pay them to help load 5 trucks .The boss there could easily go with purolator,or fedex ground because they have lots of trucks,and they are cheaper.I have no desire to lure new customers in only to provide inferior service.I'm sorry but I have more honesty and integrity than ups ever had,and will not lie to get thier business. Don't take me wrong salesdude,I really think you are right that the drivers could be a big advantage to signing new customers,but its tough to remain positive when the OR says you ran almost 2$ overallowed,and that you are the least best driver in the center.Not that they said that to me,but a new center manager could decide that he doesn't like me and ruin my life. sad but true BTW I like your posts...you are young and pure... good luck [/QUOTE]
