When your dumb dispatch sups do the add cuts do they put yours in order in your trace or do they just dump them into the 8000 section and expect you to make your own route? When it is a route I know it's not as annoying but when covering a route I don't know it's always nice finding 8 businesses in the 8000 section then being told it's your fault because you should have seen it while sorting your truck....
You should then feed them this line that they fed us when PAS/EDD first came out: You will not need to sort your truck now. We are asking you to do an extra 10-20 stops now but it won't matter because you will not need to sort your truck now. The packages will be loaded stop for stop.
"How can it be my fault because I should have seen the businesses when I was sorting the truck when I'm not supposed to sort the truck because you don't give me a time allowance to sort the truck and I now have 10-20 more stops to do because I gained all that time because I don't have to sort the truck?"
As we all know the reality is we still have to sort and we spend too much time searching for packages (some are there and some are not) and we still get the extra 10-20 stops. So, as usuall its the driver who has to fix the mis-management problems.
All this could be avoided if the dispatch sup simply put businesses where they belong in the load. If they want us to follow trace, then why would put business at the end of the trace? In what other world could this possibly be the driver's fault. Its like they constantly want their cake and eat it too and then have it cleaned up too.
