[QUOTE="HEFFERNAN, post: 1922093, member: 11315"] Like Photog said, it changed with the strike and going public. When you grabbed your diad in the morning back then, you walked past the office that ran the center. You could have a bulk stop taken off, give air to an air driver, or have them take 15 stops off so you can play softball at 5. The good old days !!! Now some office in Atlanta has predetermined how many routes can be run, using logarithms that would make Einstein squint at his chalkboard. Now some computer tells you how many miles you're allowed to drive, a number that affects SERVICE at its core. You can't make that extra medical package attempt and you can't drive that misload off because it's "too far". You can't give a favorite pickup extra time because coming back will ruin your milage for the day. Drivers from the 70's and 80's would laugh at us because that wasn't the company they worked for. The strike or going public !!! You can't point the finger at them without realizing it probably was us. [/QUOTE]
