[QUOTE="InTheRed, post: 511668, member: 4489"] Doesn't it take longer to sheet packages by hand, on paper, than it does to scan them? If that's true, then that's awesome. So no cover driver comes in way better than you? That's a good indicator of a job well done. Was he running high over-allowed? I noticed the more 'senior' guys tend to have a lot of customer contact time. Not many, but a few. I've covered for them on vacations and seem to beat them by an hour. I work by the methods, shut the door, turn the truck off, etc etc all that good stuff. Some people need the ride along. Not saying this particular gentleman did as I do not know the details. I totally agree. I know of some drivers that follow EDD in the resi area and will pass a stop 1, 2, 3 times when they could just knock it off. We all know that every day is different, so you need to approach it that way. You really can't follow EDD 100%, because what happens when we have that customer meet us on the road? Tell them to go away because I haven't made it to their house yet? Also the stops you have everyday dictate the way you wind your way through the neighborhood, unless you have a townhouse/condo-ish area where one street runs into the next... I think it should be 90-95% correct. When it is way off is what offends me. I have handed the dispatch supervisor the way to run particular neighborhoods and how to load it up in EDD. He did something because it was perfect for two weeks, but then it went back to the crap it was before. This is a neighborhood with 50 streets, and looks like a fingerprint on a map --- Very curvy streets and you can cut through it very efficiently, with practice. When it's not right, you lose 5-10 mins through sorting it out. Peak is worse, as the neighborhood gets 100 stops a day. During peak, that neighborhood winds up on all four shelves. *sigh* [/QUOTE]
