I love this time of year. $$$$$$$$$. I do have a problem bringing back stops. I will service EVERY package on my truck. I AM a service provider
The only thing I dislike more than bringing stops back is worrying about getting shot by a nervous homeowner out in the middle of nowhere who sees some guy in dark clothing walking down his pitch black driveway at 10:00 at night.
Once the clock strikes 9:00, I am pretty much pulling the plug and coming on in. Any service failures that occur at
that point are due to a total failure on the part of management to aim high in dispatching, get the big picture, leave themselves an out and adjust for changing conditions. If I am bringing stops back after 9:00
at night it means that I had
already warned them 9,10 or even
11 hours earlier that their dispatch was a failure, and they were either unable or unwilling to do anything about the problem that
they created. Im just the messenger.
