[QUOTE="newgirl, post: 1139594, member: 30504"] Not going to quote r1A to save some space :), but DRA sends me to areas I have never been before and I can follow it very easily. And when I follow it to a "T" it is very close on what time I get done. I ask my manager every day when my swing driver pay kicks in. He laughs. Yes, it wants me to do five u-turns on a 6 lane highway and would like me to drive right through the canals but I am sure those bugs will be worked out ;). Two years ago they told me I couldn't write down my stops anymore and I couldn't look at my powerpad because it's not safe, but now they send me to unfamiliar territory and give me two lists and a map I can(not) look at while I am(not) driving. Very safety-minded. I love calling my dispatcher every day to tell them I won't make my pickups because DRA has me 5 miles out of my area and I have to take my hour lunch. But, I follow whatever they want me to do. There was a rumor that DRA was going to go away since it is costing a lot more in fuel, overtime and of course, service failures but X has too much invested in it. They will work around DRA--where there's a will there's a way. Unless the economy turns around and they can't find anyone to work for them, then its Zapmail 2. [/QUOTE]
