[QUOTE="soberups, post: 884350, member: 14668"] I am trying to keep an open mind and reserve judgement on the new service until I see what additional resources (cars on the road) that Atlanta decides to provide to those of us on the front lines who must actually [I]implement[/I] the new service. As it stands now, the new program will fail. Those of us who do our jobs in the [I]real[/I] world are going to be put in "triage" mode....having to choose which stops get delivered late, which pickups get done outside of the compliance window, and which ones dont get done at all. And this is on a "good" day when we are actually allowed to dispatch an "adequate" number of routes. The failures will compound exponentially on the days when some idiot in a cubicle forces us to eliminate 2 or 3 entire routes 30 minutes before start time and the volume gets forced into whatever adjacent car can contain it. On days like this, a route that was already hopeless to begin with will simply be buried 3 feet deeper in the same grave. The bottom line is this; I can only legally work 14 hours a day or 60 hours in a week. My package car only holds 23 gallons of fuel, which means I am on fumes at about 180 miles. Something is going to [I]have[/I] to give. [I]Whatever[/I] winds up happening....[I]it wont be my problem. [/I]I will work as directed, I will allow the impossible to fail, and I will sit back and laugh at the absurdity of it all while making $45 an hour to drive in circles. [/QUOTE]
