[QUOTE="soberups, post: 3219070, member: 14668"] To the OP--your backing "goal" is an irrelevant, random number that was pulled out of the ass of someone who never did your job or ran your route. Yes we should strive to back as little as necessary. Yes we should back safely. Backing reduction is a worthy goal. But you are absolutely correct that coasting in reverse in order to keep from showing up on a report is dishonest. You are a professional who works in the [I]real [/I]world. You are the the one best suited to judge if and when and how far it is necessary to back. When confronted by management about your failure to generate an arbitrary and meaningless backing metric, your best bet is to respond the same way [I]they[/I] do when you bring issues such as poor load quality and overdispatching to their attention. Just nod politely, and tell them you will "look into it." [/QUOTE]
