[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 885309, member: 12570"] Rural remote made a lot of sense and would have worked had they left it up to the drivers to make the decisions. I had a country run at the time with a lot of small towns. There was one very small town that was 5 miles each way from the nearest town, which is home to a prison. Most of the people in the very small town work in the prison. I would usually get one or two pkgs per day for the very small town which I could normally indirect in the prison town. Those that I couldn't I would remote untiil I had enough to justify driving down there. The problem came when mgt decided to use rural remote as a dispatch tool and would put entire towns under the belt. We would not be allowed to go through those packages to see which ones we could get rid of without going to that town. The money savings was there. The money savings with MyChoice will be in not having to make multiple attempts. These savings may be negated by the additional miles and OT. [/QUOTE]
