[QUOTE="PPH_over_9000, post: 5120776, member: 79761"] So there [B]shouldn't [/B]be missed pieces but it can definitely happen. Prime example: An over-dispatched driver works about 13 hours (including an hour lunch) and they bring the package car back with whatever deliveries are left remaining. Hell no, love 'em for the lookout. What I dislike is how they hire these people as temporary/seasonal workers and come to rely on those extra hands come crunch time. What the company should do is hire enough permanent employees throughout the year to be able to handle peak without the use of seasonals. I don't blame the seasonals for wanting to work, I point my finger at the company and then try to make lemonade with all these damn lemons they keep throwing at me. A shelf apiece. It's hard to say because the stops didn't automatically drop from my board once they took them-- they disappeared in waves. 60 hours in a week, 14 hours (including a 1hr lunch) in a day. We have to follow all of the same DOT rules as RPCDs, but those are the two big ones. So 410 stops in 13 hours averages out to about 31 stops/hour. That's not the toughest pace to maintain if you're in the right area and your truck is perfectly sorted. As far as I know, the highest SPORH I've ever had was 43 stops/hr on my favorite route, but I only maintained that for an hour. It really does all depend on the area and the driver's area knowledge. And you know what I got for it? When I returned to building, my on-road said "Hey man, just so you know, you were doing 43 stops an hour at one point" and gave me a huge smile and the thumbs up. The next day I showed up to an even heavier work assignment. [/QUOTE]
