[QUOTE="DS, post: 888311, member: 556"] Indecisi0n,you start out by saying you can't go around pointing fingers then proceed to do it anyway:peaceful: But that's ok because you make a valid point. There are several variables that would affect a drivers ability to not be sheep. First of all,every hub,center or hut has their own rules.My hub has about 400 drivers. The truth is,whining is a necessary part of my job.If I don't say anything about the crap loads and the 11.5 hour days, I will end up going over 12 hours and they get gnarly when you do that. You may work in a small center,where it's easy to actually get help when you call and say you will have 15 missed businesses.Here,you get week off without pay,and you can grieve it later. I guess what I'm saying is this.You are new.In time you will see that whining and bitching are necessary to achieve even a close resemblance to a realistic planned day. Sometimes screaming helps get your point across,it really wakes them up:happy-very: I think the larger the facility,the more sheep. I take my break at 2pm every day and I manage to get all my business done by then. If I have 45 resi's left at 7pm,I get my air picked up and do 'em one at a time. Last stop last night 8:55 pm... Never judge a man till you've drove a day in his browns. [/QUOTE]
