[QUOTE="JustDeliverIt, post: 4044377, member: 68456"] I recently went through my first bid at my building. I was cover for the first year and a half once going full time, learned suburb/country routes to cover high seniority vacations and such. Was always around scratch, never really bothered by management except for the occasional "bad day" which I never cared about. I always brought it back safe without injury or accident, work at a steady pace while always taking my full lunch. Being towards the bottom of the bid list, ended up with a city route. Didn't want to cover, wanted my own route no matter how crappy. First few weeks, figured out all the little nuances of the route and seem to run it fine. Constantly told I'm around an hour over, having a talking to almost every morning. So, being a city route with a lot of upper/lower homes, I stopped DR packages that have been fine to leave. Sending stuff to Access Points and redelivering the next day the other half of the route that doesn't send stuff to Access Points. Reduced DR stops by about 40/day from the previous bid driver. The last 10 days doing this, I'm suddenly only 20 minutes over. What I don't get, is we provide a service. And this company, based on their numbers, is saying I'm doing a better job by not delivering packages. Making customers go to Access Points or wait extra days to receive their stuff. Another failure in a long line of issues IMO. [/QUOTE]
