[QUOTE="crazymoon2, post: 1332996, member: 33778"] As a 36 yr. veteran I can tell you this. When I started as a part-timer in a small center I unloaded package cars as they cam in. One night a loader called in and they put me in a trailer, I was young and it was no big deal I did the job and ended up loading trailers. A couple of days later another loader called in, well my supervisor said we were short handed and if I could help out and load 2 trailers that night. Again I was young and stupid, no big deal. Well from that day I loaded 2 trailers at a time. Well I learned that the more you do the more they want, all they care about is making the numbers look good for them (supervisors). When I went full time it was the same. If the route had 110 stops and 25 pick ups they added 5 more stops, if you did them next day they added a split (you know "Can you help out today because we are a little heavy"). If you do that guess what you start getting on a regular day? More work and you had to do it in the same amount of time. So if you want to be an "Over Achiever" go ahead, I always liked to have those around me because they would always get work off of me and give it to them. One of my best stories is a driver had to come get 20 stops off of me because I was over dispatched. He pulls up and bitching and complaining " I haven't had lunch today and I had to come help you". I said "Really, I took my whole hour, sat and ate a good lunch and read the paper. I guess your going to start taking your hour lunch, right?" [/QUOTE]
