[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 560093, member: 22880"] I NEVER take a break in my truck, just "personal" policy. If I'm sitting in the truck, I'm getting paid. A break in my book is having access to a place where I can tend to all sorts of bodily functions and not break the law while doing so. If you're having that many checkrides, something must be wrong. Missed goals or too many burned deliveries/pu's are the usual reason. Sometime in the past, the same situation occurred at my station. We weren't making district goal, and the burner was turned up on the managers to correct the problem. The yo-yo at the district didn't bother to look one step beyond the spreadsheet and try to figure out why goal wasn't being made. All he was interested in was making goal. The reason is that there was a time period where a large number of routes had new CRRs running them. Inexperience means lower productivity. The station managers knew this, but they had to get the numbers up pronto. So they did the ridealong thing and made all sorts of threats about making goal and not burning deliveries. After a few months, the problem solved itself. That was my "final exam" in learning how Express operates (by the spreadsheet and not by common sense). FedEx lost me with that experience, and I've just been punching the clock to get what I need ever since. [/QUOTE]
