[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 318003, member: 12570"] 99, it will be a long, hard battle for you to get this route back to a more manageable level, but it can be done. Follow the methods to the letter. Stay on trace as much as possible. Take your lunch and break(s) and be sure to record those times in the DIAD. Take credit for all over 70s, ARS/RS/Internet shipped pkgs handed to you on route. I would caution against adding miles just for the sake of adding time as there is a big push (at least in my center and district) to reduce mileage and, as we all know and has been discussed here many times, Big Brother is watching. I would also caution against taking Esty's advice of spending 45 minutes sorting your pkg car--is the load really that bad--because GPS now allows mgt to follow our every move or, in this case, 30-45 min of not moving, and if you just happen to be over by 30-45 min they may see a link between the two. I assume that you have PAS/EDD; if so, I would think that spending 30-45 minutes to sort your car is time better spent on the road. I get antsy when I spend 2 minutes back there, let alone 30-45 minutes. Is your DOL set up the way that you would like it to be? If not, ask your dispatch sup to print out your DOL and then take the time to make the corrections to it so that adjustments can be made which would make your day go that much smoother. It is hard to follow the runners and gunners who only want to get the pkgs off the car and then get off the clock. Do the job the way that your were taught and you will find that the tide will shift in your favor but that it will take a long time for it to do so. [/QUOTE]
