[QUOTE="brownedout, post: 994703, member: 30910"] To answer your questions, no it is not possible to make all sides happy, yes the job is set up to fail. As someone fixed for you, you have no say in the number of routes that get sent out. Hell your center manager (or most center manager's) in my experience have no say in the number of routes that get sent out. You just get to live with the dirty glares that get sent in your direction for yesterdays poor dispatch. It's been a bone of contention of mine and many of my fellow drivers for quite a few years, the cavalier attitude upper management has in assigning the PDS job. The most successful PDS's I have come across are On Cars who really took the effort as OC's to get out there and learn the areas, who actually listened to their drivers to try to make the job less miserable for all concerned. In short the one's who came to realize sometimes the best move is not to cut the 8000 section from truck A to the 8000 in truck B because that's what's best/easiest/quickest for the preload. [/QUOTE]
