[QUOTE="SignificantOwner, post: 856224, member: 22836"] I'm ok with leaving the route's alone if drivers agree not have a max stop count, agree not to call in sick, agree not to request 8 hour days, say they can't get done with the work on the car, say they can't get all their air off in time, say their car won't fit on a particular street, or bring up any other issues with the work on their routes. I don't want to do last minute adjustments either, but circumstances change daily and we have to react to get all the packages on the road. The reason that the adjustments aren't cleaner is that the dispatch system doesn't give your (or my) dispatcher a good forecast of what's coming. They really don't have a good look at the dispatch until it's on the car and then they make add/cuts to level everything out and it turns into a fiasco. Regarding the problem with schools or libraries in neighborhoods, this is a system problem too. The system that the dispatcher uses to make add/cuts doesn't indicate in any way whether or not an address range has a commercial stop in there. This is a big oversight in my mind. Sounds to me like these issues are common across the country which would indicate that they're mostly system rather than people problems. [/QUOTE]
