[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1162717, member: 14668"] When Rural Remote was implemented, there was a quota of stops that HAD to be recorded as "remote" regardless of whether or not any miles were saved. It was never about saving miles or making good decisions...it was about generating a number in order to meet a quota. The guy who drew up the maps that defined "rural" areas had no knowledge of the area itself; we were being instructed to "remote" stops that were across the street from a shopping mall, or stops on a major highway that multiple drivers passed on their way to and from their delivery areas. It got to the point where we would just sheet address corrections and refused packages as "remote" in order to meet the quota. The whole concept was flawed. [/QUOTE]
