[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1162494, member: 12570"] That's one way to look at it. When it first came out it made a lot of sense. The driver was tasked with making the decision and for the most part they made the right choices. Yes, there were the occasional "I have a ball game tonight so I will remote this town" but overall the drivers took care of the customers. It is when the center teams were taking entire towns off of pkg cars and not letting the drivers go through them to see if they could indirect them or somehow make service on them when rural remote began to fail. I had a country run when rural remote first came out. One of my towns was 5 miles one way from another larger town. The larger town had a prison which is where most of the people from the smaller town worked. I would normally get up to 5 stops per day for the smaller town and could normally get rid of most if not all of them in the larger town. The stops that I couldn't get rid of I would save for a day or so until I had enough stops to justify making the 10 mile round-trip. [/QUOTE]
