[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 57182"] Actually these pickups were not even on the route when I bid them, they were on other routes. Fact is when they were last timestudied, both of these pickups were on other routes. It seems that since I decided to bid on a route instead of cover, I have inherited quite a bit of work. An 8 hour day with the miles and volume for the last driver was 65-70 stops delivery and 6 pickup. The driver at the time only averaged 2 1/2 hours overtime each month. Usually I have 115-140 stops delivery and 16 pickups, including three customer counter pickups that he did not have, of which one is a UPS store. As a result, I am usually the LDI in our center. The way I look at it, the route is not even close to what it was when it was time studied, so that should not have a bearing on the discussion. The pickups that I make used to be made by others that are still much closer than I am, but because of politics have been shifted to me. Never have figured out why, when you have a driver go right by within 4 blocks, why I have to drive that far to make the pickup. So tell me, how does the computer adjust the dispatch for the driver when there is politics and management bias and stupidity that is involved? Not to mention revenge. d [/QUOTE]
