[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 972656, member: 4653"] I was thinking the same thing but taking it a step further. Apparently, they know much better how many routes the center should run better than my center manager and 3 on-car sups.. I understand they have a job to do and I'm sure its difficult. Well, if you call looking at volume trends and then assigning a # of routes to that difficult and not having to deal with bull that comes with it, then it is. Sort of. Who do you think knows the center better? IE or the manager who deals with it everyday? I think the center manager should be able to over-ride IE anytime with no questions asked, but he can't even when its his a-- on the line. To the guy complaining about the route he doesn't want to do. Try being the center manager being told how many routes to run and then explaining the next day why his/her numbers were so bad and why there were so many over 10's, missed businesses, late air, etc. Never mind our business customers getting their delivery at 430 pm or with their pick up. Here's an idea. Instead of layoffs and cutting routes to save money, how about we just cut IE and let the operations managers decide how much labor they need? It seems to me that they would know best. Think of the 100's of 1000's of $$ in salary the company would save as opposed to the few gallons of gas and the little wear on the vehicles they save now cutting a route. You're right, its never going to happen. [/QUOTE]
