the tradeoff of having massive union job protection, is you will work as directed or face discipline, right up to DOT cutoff if necessary
I thinks it's because management thinks you're stupid. I can't figure out why though.I understand where your coming from. I have to help someone everyday also, and I get dispatched with the most stops in my center. I go out with 330 and get done at 530 !nd have to go help someone that goes out with 150 with a helper, its because they want to bs around all day, and don't want to be expose that they can do that, so they will continue to send them ot with that and we will continue to have to save there asses. The older guys are set in there ways, there so use to doing 100 stops that use to be ok in 1999, but its 2012, things are changing, if u can't handle it, retire, or take a article 22 Job, and let us young "runners" handle it.
Ah yes the work as directed, usually making my pay check larger.the tradeoff of having massive union job protection, is you will work as directed or face discipline, right up to DOT cutoff if necessary
For the past few weeks if been able to bust my ass and get off early 615ish. Then this week I had to help 3 drivers on the 3 separate days??? Anything I can say or do not to have to help.
Actually I never need help and I don't get screwed because they know I do it by the methods. The firs day of peak I had 58 stops and I went and took about twenty of another member. I'm a team player I was just trying to make a point. I bet you do more stops in two days than I do in a week.You sound like one of those drivers that needs help everyday.
There is nothing that pisses me off worse than show up to help someone later in the when they open there back door nothing is in the 1000 or 2000. Everything is in the back of the truck usually half on the floor. They they ask you what you want to take and they have to hunt and peck for 20 minute to find the packages.
You learn a lot of tricks from the old dogs.That is part of the reason why some people need help. Their driving is so sloppy that half their load is on the floor, then it takes twice as long to find stuff and they cannot figure out how anyone gets stuff done faster. Early in my career, I went to help another guy, this was way before PAS. The other guy had the section all set up, even so far as to have neighborhoods separated by a little bit of space. He moved it to my truck and I asked him about it. He told me that if I drove smooth enough to maintain that load, it would come off twice as fast with less searching. I learned a valuable lesson that day that has made so many days easier.

Like my union rep says "I am not telling you to slow down but to use all the methods." I love it.
and take all your break at a regular time. "Can you meet so and so?? He will be there around 1800, just take some break if you have to wait."
"Sry, took all my break already."

No I can just handle it, without whining and complaining. You keep taking your little 58 stops out old head. And its funny how they say the new generation is lazy.
It's not there driving it the fact that they don't sort anything they hunt and peck at every stop. At 5 or 6 at night all the rest of your stops should be all sorted in the 1000 and 2000 sections not on the floor or in the 7000 and 8000 section mixed in with your PU's.
You sound like a dominator.And when I'm 30+ in, ill have a nice route, with only 120 stops, and ill be able to get through it still. There's guys that are 30-40 years old that can't do 180 stops a day, and where I deliver ay, you can get up to 10 stops on a block, some more. These guys make thete minds up in the morning that there going to need help, and they go slow all day.

I can't wait to hear you complain about why they're adding stops to your route in about 10 years. They'll ride you till you're dead and broken and won't thank you. It's a good attitude you have to work hard. I think everyone should have this attitude. But the company will expect it from you all the time. Then when you're older or maybe a little hurt and you slow down to compensate, they'll ask you why you haven't met your SPORH or why you're over allowed by 100 clicks. You can point out that you have the most stops or pickups all day long and it's not going to matter to the numbers machine. Keep a steady pace now so you're not crapped on in your dotage.

I bet I've spent more time in the can dominating a deuce on the clock than this guy has driving.You sound like a dominator.
