What can brown do for you? Bring you a package and survey your property at the same time. What a great idea, wish I would of thought of it.
That's double funny!

I think a 2 acre driveway would be called a runway.
Maybe our pilots could use it to get our air here on time. Jut saying......
Over I just saw your post.. I guess I wasn't too clear. It's property size of 2 acres, not driveway size
Yea i'm in the newly formed region. And I am not liking the way things are being ran... We have already been told by our division manager that if we can't handle the amount of stops on the car(which have gone up at least by 20 in the past year) then we need to find a new career.
Last week we received something to sign (or not) called the 2 acre rule for residential deliveries. basically says without center manager approval you can't pull in a driveway unless it is larger than 2 acres... I am still waiting on my training of how to calculate property size from a brown truck.. Was just wondering if this was just a local thing or if it has been done elsewhere
Our on-roads would soil themselves (along w/a few drivers) if that was ever initiated up here. Our sporh's would fall off the map... I walk too much, in my on-roads opinion, and I use my 15 years safe driving as to why.
As an aside, we had a time study done by an outside-the-center group last year and a majority of the runs gained time. I think this happened around the country as well. During this time, we were told to make sure we walked mos tof our housecalls and to not stop complete the DR until we were right where we left the pkg. Anyways, as the paid over decreased for most of the drivers, because the routes were adjusted closer to reality, the drivers were now told that the over/under was no longer looked at as effective and it was now all about SPORH. (laughing) Now, I find it amusing that in the course of one day, 20 years of over/under allowance is now incorrect and sporh is the new bottom line.
Yes, these 2 kind of go hand in hand but I like how one is picked over the other to fit an argument...
Any ways, we finish the time study, the routes get time, and 2 of the on-roads that told us to walk off most of the house calls are now giving 3-day rides and telling us to drive in almost every driveway. Since it's work-as-directed I have to comply but I find it amazing that they do it with a straight face...
Safety, safety, safety....unless it affects sporh
The only reason the guy came up with that rule is because he was getting reamed by his boss about all of the driveway accidents that happened on his watch. So, in typical management style, he put pen to paper and came up with YET ANOTHER stupid idea involving a measurement in order to make it look like he had a solution to the problem.
Agreed, It's just hysterical to me that we are PCM'd to death on why we should keep our vehicles out of driveways (SAFETY, SAFETY) until we get a 3-day and then it's ok to drive in them.....love the hypocracy

Remember, working as directed is what you do UNTIL safety becomes a factor. Walk where you need to, my friend.Our on-roads would soil themselves (along w/a few drivers) if that was ever initiated up here. Our sporh's would fall off the map...

We get the pcm every morning on OA hours and SPORH's.. I was told by my OC that I was OA and I told him I was givin him a fair days work and he replied that a fair day's work meant that I ran scratch and ran my SPORH's. Told him I must have missed that part when reading the contract.
