[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 82504"] I have seen the SSI work to our benefit. 2 companies that I have delivered to have seen a marked increase in their incoming volume. Some of that is due to increased business/improving economy, but some due to the SSI program. I believe that some of these same companies may see the same benefit in dealing with one company for all of their outgoing volume as well. I am also a cover driver. When I started, I ticked off a couple of regular guys and one of the better cover drivers pulled me aside and suggested talking to the regular guys on the Friday before and the Monday following to report any issues and get feedback. For me, it is more important to find out what mistakes I made, than whether or not people liked me. To me, it is important to provide service as well as the regular guy, but not to promise anything that the regular cannot deliver. On routes that I cover alot, I have given my cell number to pickup accounts so that they can call me if there is an issue. I remind them that it is my cell personal number and that the reason I am giving it is because I am not as smart as the regular guy. Since I have started doing these "extras," some drivers have asked that I cover their routes. TomB [/QUOTE]
