[QUOTE="Steward773, post: 948434, member: 12275"] You will always have your 'slugs' and 'gunners'. The next generation of new drivers was not working back when I started, before edd and all the rest of the technology. The stop counts back then were 30, 40, on some routes even 60 stops less than now. I'm only a dumb truck driver, but technology only saves you a portion of time not enough to raise a stop count by this much. With the big push in safety today, I think this is why so many are upset and production is such a hot topic. In my old center it was the senior drivers, and the newer drivers who followed the methods that were paid over. I knew that some 'gunners' could never make their numbers if they followed the methods being that I used to cover their route. As a steward, I used to be in the office with these drivers being disiplined for everything under the sun. I would always put it in my back pocket to use against the company if they came after me for my production, but they never did. I didn't like the way that technology was taking over my job, this is one of the reasons I bid a 22.3. It is unbelievable how my life has changed for the better. Remember.... it's always better to be safe than sorry. [/QUOTE]
