NO DOUBT!!! Actually, not to defend management, but drivers (not going to state whether bid or covers or both) knows what stores don't open before 10. As soon as he is on area he will park in the mall parking lot, shut off truck, sheet the NDA's as closed, then drive to office building and deliver the entire building - ground and airs. Deliver the condo's and some times the neighborhood. Then get to the mall around 11. It saves him probably about an hour off of his day, if not more. So, all the management see's is a trip that can easily handle the NDA volume. We are a bonus center, so when he clocks out early he gets paid about the same as i do getting done 1-2 hours later.
This is one of the flaws of a bonus center. I have learned so much from BC, its members, the stewards here and older drivers in my center. I really try to do everything by the book to avoid the hassles of warning letters, talk with's, lectures and all that BS.
