[QUOTE="By The Book, post: 2146456, member: 53581"] A few good points made!, first if you want to have one of those country routes that have 75 to 115 stops you will need to stay out of the office. When I say that I mean don't fix it, or feel you have to perfect every little thing that can be fixed. Sometimes the veteran driver will do what he's asked and fly under the radar and do all the service stuff right. Meet the minimum trace, break for service, no fixing needed. Go move this stop to that guys route or a pickup over here and pretty soon you've got them thinking what else needs to be cleaned up on that route. Pretty soon it's another 5 to 15 stops of harder work than you had.....that's real smart! What will make dispatches go up is all the drivers who want to improve the routes they cover because they can't figure out how Ned can take so long on the route. Management will praise the runners and stroke their egos and they will give all kinds of things up that make no sense to a guy who wants to get off the clock asap. Listen to the veteran drivers but don't change their routes and someday those decent routes will be yours! Session over. [/QUOTE]
