[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 308333, member: 484"] Dill I am somewhat different than most drivers. At 20 years seniority, I decided to become a cover driver. Also spent some time as a driver trainer because of my methods and area knowledge. So I totally understand being thrown to the wolves, and you would have been one that I would have helped in a minute. Nope, drivers like the one I am talking about have been on the same route for 10+ years, spend more time on the phone than delivering, in many cases have their nose stuck up the center manager pantlegs. and even though they are subject to several rides a year, nothing comes from them. So you are not at all what I was refering to. Actually, the last 5 peaks, I did not even have a route. They would have me come in early to help get the preload down on time, then take out a ryder with 10-15 bulk stops. By then the cell phone would ring without stoping till 8PM or more. And all but one peak, because of that type of flexability, most drivers were in by 6-6:30 almost every day. But management does not have the flexability to make those decisions anymore. It is all micro controled from the top down. That is one of the reasons why I find the term opperator somewhat funny. I run the show, I am telling you what to do, but I cant make a move on my own. Heck, I doubt most center managers go to the bathroom without clearance first. Anyway......... d [/QUOTE]
