[QUOTE="Undertow, post: 4018238, member: 4550"] Is it ever going to improve? Maybe. Maybe not. But even if it were to improve to something above absolutely pathetic, I'm not convinced that would make up for all the accumulated damage it's already been allowed to cause. My building has lost so many quality drivers that simply couldn't tolerate it and all BS that has come with it. It's easy for people to say "Just follow it 100% and let the management deal with the results". All too often, the management simply won't deal with the results and the driver is left with even worse choices to make. We've had several guys sit down with the dispatch team for hours on end going stop by stop in an effort to attain something that can be reasonably followed and all experienced the same outcome. The trace worked OK for a few days and then the program undid all the efforts to obtain a workable solution and it was right back to the usual sloppy mess it was before the attempted intervention. Now the guys that are once dedicated to going the extra hour or mile (no pun intended) to ensure customers big and small got served have simply had enough and are going the other direction. The 9.5 list is maxed out and drivers who hadn't used a single 8hr request in some cases for over 10 years now insist on taking every single one available. The collective attitude has become one of "If this is how it's always going to be, then we want to ensure we spend the absolute least amount of time tolerating this charade that we have to and not a moment more." Even if upper management were to demonstrate a hint of accountability as soon as next week Monday and acknowledge the reality that the program was failing as bad or worse now than 5 years ago, that wouldn't make up even a fraction of what's been lost since they first burdened the operation with it.
