[QUOTE="Dustyroads, post: 530508, member: 22610"] It seems that there are a lot of things management COULD do IF they wanted to achieve a reduction of misloads. Likewise, if they wanted to reduce miles, they could make changes in the trace which would improve efficiency. However, it's like that old saying, "If ifs and buts were beer and nuts, we could have a party." The reality at our center is that there is no way to stop the misloads. What are you going to do? Fire the preloader? You can't even get enough people to come in now, considering the hours, the relative low wages of all new hires, and the new extended time for part timers to receive insurance coverage. Preload managers simply can't afford to suspend anyone. As for the trace, absolutely no one in our building has the authority to change the trace in any way. It's all locked up with a security password that no one in the building has. And the one or two guys in the state that do have it, well, their mindset is that no one can mess with the trace, it's perfect, we set it up. So, our managers have to just tell the drivers, well, just run it the best way. Just disregard the fact that the trace takes you by a single stop four or five times. This is especially common on rural or extended areas, but also exists right downtown. So, despite our center manager's wishes or good intentions, they simply are not given the ability to fix these problems. So, it's just put off on the drivers to make it all go away.
