[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1411447, member: 198"] I have always put the floor numbers for apartments/upstairs commercial stops under "room number" because I was trained to because it can put customers or shippers at ease that are tracking their packages. Not for any time allowance. The following are the only things I will manually enter and only because I either know for sure we get an allowance for them or simply for accountability.... -How many over 70s I deliver under special counts while the stop is still open. -The amount of pieces that are transferred to/from my truck whenever meeting a driver to transfer/receive more stops. -How many gallons of fuel I put in the truck (which helps our OMS figure out when to request a fuel truck come for a refill) plus pump number or "99" if it's offsite. I don't do any of these things to inflate my bonus (which I rarely get anyway) or out of fear of not meeting managements imaginary numbers. I do it for accountability. Accounting for anything the DIAD will [U]legitimately[/U] allow plus telematics makes it very hard for some desk jockey, that is out to get someone because he/she just got belittled on the morning conference call, to claim I'm stealing time. Plus, our on car has experimented with our timecards and knows what affects our time. He, like most on cars, worry about routes on lighter days planning. He has gone in the computer and manually entered some of these things in drivers' timecards and then taken them back out to see whether or not they affect how the routes planned. He has made routes go for planning 7.89 hours to over 8. Do I care? No but if I can do these simple things to keep some desk jockey off my back I will most certainly take a few seconds to enter them in the DIAD. [/QUOTE]
