[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1117603, member: 24302"] What I don't get is that most couriers learn most of what they need to know about a route in a month or two. There's very little difference between the quality of work of a 6 month employee and a 16 year employee, assuming they are both decent workers that make an honest effort. The idea that we'll all be replaced with people who can't think for themselves seems counterproductive as the customers aren't going to be thrilled handing off their pkgs to people who they feel might not be able to get it to it's destination. I've met many couriers over the years that in social situations might be considered attractive people, but had little interest in hustling and being productive, just competant enough to do their job. Is all this effort truly going to increase efficiency and productivity, or is it just another boondoggle that they've convinced themselves is the key to huge profits? It's called the human element, and no software will fix that. [/QUOTE]
