[QUOTE="Xexys, post: 1549964, member: 47259"] Milkman and I had a center manager who (when a driver, before management) would hang out at his last pick-up stop who happened to be a TV repairman that worked out of his house, killing time on the clock. The same center manager would also tell us about going to the matinee during the afternoon, on the clock of course, to kill time. He was the best center manager we ever had and nobody could measure up to him in any way. He knew how it worked, and never did "punish" anybody for the same kind of things that he did as a driver. Every driver in our center worked their ass off for this guy. No center manager could ever make our center run scratch, but he came the closest that any center manager ever did. We had one of those centers that no matter what management did, the stops per hour were horrible. Even the city routes that composed some of our center were hard to run scratch and those city routes had to make up for routes that could barely get 10 stops per on road hour. Our center was the armpit of our hub and every manager hated it. It was like a death sentence to have to run our center and every center manager knew it. Of course, nowadays with Orion, the drivers are having to become very creative with killing time on the clock. So glad I'm out of that mess. I would be moving so slowly with every step and every movement and it would definitely drive me crazy. Starting my career in this day and age of UPS would surely be the death of me. [/QUOTE]
