[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 762182, member: 12570"] Steve, on behalf of the rest of the Brown Cafe team, I would like to formally invite you to join the rest of us in the 21st century. Yes, my kids are grown, but I still like to be available if they need to get in touch with me. My son delivers for Papa John's and, if something were to happen to him, I like knowing that I am just a phone call away, even if it is just for directions. If it were something serious I would most certainly dump the route in a second. Are you seriously saying that I should not be allowed (expected) to use my cell phone as it gives me an unfair advantage over my cover drivers and that the numbers on the OR are not a true representation of my day as I "cheated" to obtain them? What happened, did you fall off your bike and forget to wear your helmet again? Do you even read this stuff after you type it? You would rather I stand there while this customer pulls invoices and compares the COD total that I gave her before she will write the check. This is why I call her--it lets her do her thing and I simply make the delivery and go. The miles are the same but I will concede that I am gaining on the 3 minute per COD allowance. Work smarter, not harder. Steve, the methods are a guideline on how to do our job. There is technology available which will allow us to use the methods more efficiently. If this is something you choose not to embrace that is your choice. For the rest of us, and by "us" I am referring to those who voted "yes" on my poll, we have chosen to become more efficient. I do pray that nothing ever happens to a member of your family that would require you being there but no one was able to reach you and your center team did not think it a priority to notify you and simply put a note in your slot---"Daughter in ER with broken arm". This was the way that it used to be. They used to call one of your pickup stops and ask them to have you call the center. Suppose that God forbid your wife and daughters are involved in a car accident and you are desperately needed at the ER. Do you really want to rely on your center team to relay this information to you? As for your comment about More, she seems to have forgotten that the words "quantity" and "quality" do not share the same meaning. [/QUOTE]
