[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 408437, member: 198"] I wouldn't worry about correcting problems on a route whether it's a bid route or not. The route doesn't belong to the bid driver. It belongs to all of because eventually others will have to run the route too. It's not like FedEx Ground where they have actually bought the routes and they really do belong to them. But again the problems I'd try to fix would be obvious and would probably be how the bid driver runs the route anyway. Such as dead end streets that are sequenced backwards in EDD. I wouldn't change something that doesn't need to be changed. And I'm definitely not going to shy away from correcting problems in EDD just because the bid driver has a chip on his/her shoulder and doesn't want things at UPS to work right. LOL! Nice attitude huh? I fixed an entire neighborhood's trace on a bid route a while back and the bid driver sure was happy about it. I run that route at least three times each month and got sick of having to dig packages out of the loads to run that neighborhood logically so I fixed the problem. It was the first time I've been able to get our dispatch sup to fix a problem of that magnitude. All of my other past attempts were blown off. That is a problem we have here as well. I agree that when all else fails just run the routes at 100% trace and when it screws up management's "numbers" we'll see them act quickly. If each and every driver in a center would do this then management would have to fix trace issues. [/QUOTE]
