[QUOTE="FrigidFTSup, post: 2855211, member: 58894"] I'm scheduled for a conference call tomorrow morning at 530 to explain why we missed a ridiculous SPC metric on Friday set by some dope in IE. The PDS had the choice to make Friday a 10.5 paid day or a 9.2 with a dispatch that made sense. I told him to go for the 9.2 because we got smoked the entire week and half the center would have grieved. You set the idiotic goals. A huge amount of the dispatch problems are because you people make us jump through hoops to hit certain marks that just aren't achievable. We don't look at the real world. Maybe last year we had a bunch of tight stops, so we could get more on the cars and not really lengthen the days. Maybe this year the trend is more rural. Because I can tell you one thing, out here rural stops are exploding, and I can't dispatch a guy who does 225 miles with 175 stops if we are going to avoid missed/late/DOT violations. [/QUOTE]
