[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 638151, member: 4653"] This happened at my center. The most honest driver was called in to explain the extra 10 minutes he spent stopped after lunch. I couldn't believe this driver was called in the office. The center manager was out that day and it was handled by the DM. If the center manager was in it would have been settled with 1 question and 1 answer outside the office. Instead there was a sitdown with the steward, driver and DM. The conclusion: the driver was sorting his final 23 house-calls to be done before his pick-ups. Since PAS/EDD I've never sorted the truck. Its not the method anymore. The intent was to open the bulkhead and just select the package. That exists in a fantasy land. However, I still never sort. I don't care what type of route I'm doing (residential, heavy industrial for example), I never sort. Problem is I spend too many seconds back there looking for the package. I do push the packages forward and if I see the package for my next 1-5 stops I take that to the closest shelf. UPS doesn't want us to sort but I think we are wasting more time fishing for each package than if we just sorted the entire package car. I will not do this because its not part of the methods and telematics will show me doing nothing for 15-20 minutes and I don't want (or don't feel I need) to explain myself for something like this..
