[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 516154, member: 4653"] Thanks Tie, but what do you think? What would you tolerate if it were your center? As a driver, I enjoy the extra help. If I were a shareholder I might think differently. If it were my center I would be adamant about either cutting the route or adding the route before the preload ends. I would not allow 190 stops to be transferred between 8 drivers making $43 an hour when I can have the entire route loaded or cut by 1 preload employee making$9.50 an hour or less than $40 for her entire shift. Here is an scene you might enjoy! On two mondays in the last six weeks every driver had 15-25 stops on their car that were not in EDD. It was 7 add/cuts that never got added or cut to a route that existed in EDD but didn't exist on a package car. Do you follow me? A driver was "summoned" from the cover driver ranks and proceeded to get EDD for this route. It existed because he downloaded 190 stops that ran in trace on his DIAD. Problem was, the packages were on 7 other driver's trucks and everyone had left the building:happy2:. It gets better. We all got a message with meetpoints for this cover driver. He came out with the add/cut tickets and each of us had to search our fully loaded package cars for these specifically identified parcels. This happened at about 1040. Can you imagine the time it takes to search a package car loaded with 300+ parcels for 15 stops? Of course you can't find 1 or 2 and spend another 5 minutes digging for these two parcels. At what point in our search for the missing parcels does it become more efficent or just easier for ME to deliver the entire 15 stops? I can do 15 residential stops in less than 30 minutes on most of my area. My guess is when all was said and done it took 15 minutes to find and transfer the work. Add the 10 minutes it took the other driver to meet me and it looks UPS is paying the extra driver for nothing. This excludes the fuel wasted. What about the fuel? Does anyone else experience such waste at their centers? Can you believe this happened at UPS? To me, it sounds like something that would happen at DHL. If it were your company, would you allow these practices to continue? I would love to hear a logical explanation for this? [/QUOTE]
