In our center, we've been waiting for a few drivers to finally come into their own and have a breakthrough season. |

In the morning, after inspecting their routes, drivers assume the 3 point stance. | |

The center team must check with upstairs before they can make any modifications to their game plan

Walk it off (meaning work through your injury and delivering on a rural run)

There are mornings where I look at my load and want to punt on first down...and then you may try to get a day off, waiting to see if the routes are staffed without you..So, it's a game time decision....The bad dispatching is bad play calling...After a poor performance on the operation report, mgt. wants to play Monday morning quarterback and tell you everything you did wrong... | |

The clock is winding down and we need to go into a hurry-up offense.

Isn't that how accidents happen? You get sacked on forth down then you are out for the season. (peak season)

Just gotta take one day at a time. We have to stay within ourselves and not try to do too much. Have to take care of our own business, we can't control what the other guy is doing.

There are a few managers, that should be waived. I bet no one claims them. | |

Our dispatching coordinator loves to run multiple crossing routes through each zone

He has been lucky so far with his run and gun approach, but eventually he will hit the wall and be much less mobile. He would then have to rely on other techniques to still get the job done and not disappoint his fans

We, came out flat today. It took us until the 2nd half to finally get going. We did some good things and some bad, but the numbers won't show it. I, need to do a better job, we all need to do a better job, otherwise we'll find ourselves with out one. We need to regroup and come back to work today. | |
