[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1180983, member: 24302"] Previous courier, who died in an accident, was doing about 12.5 stops an hour on a route that should be averaging 8.5-9. If you saw the rural areas he delivered 15 to 30 miles away from his main town, you'd see that 12.5 could only be achieved working off the clock. He even got back to station early enough a couple of days a week to run a pickup rt. I suspect running like crazy caused the accident that killed him. He was also the highest paid courier in the station last year, grossing over $76k on the lowest payscale. Looks to me like he had a very lucrative situation and was doing everything possible to make mgr happy to keep it happening. Was even the DG specialist on reload and worked most Saturdays as a 6th day. So I come in, mgr expects the same on two days of training by part-timer who had only run rt 3 days. Mgr kept talking about how easy rt is and would be starting me on pickup rt in town soon. So I tried to make it happen but found that 80-95 stops over 200 miles most days it just isn't feasible and got tired of running all day to make service before taking a break. Mgr kept dropping little comments like the senior mgr is asking if he thinks I'm milking it. Very telling that none of the locals would take rt before I got here and they had to post on JCATS to replace me. Between the raise situation and all of this, and plenty more to boot, decided to just quit and will be gone in 5-6 weeks as soon as I train the new guy for a week. He goes to courier school first. No route for a newbie and demonstrates the shortsightedness of mgmt.
