[QUOTE="NaiveRapture, post: 446123, member: 19290"] Yeah you're right about having to unlearn habits... it's a hard thing to do but I'm workin' on it. I do know I'm a good driver. I feel like the level of attention I pay to details, about how I can make my day go better, service the customers better, manage my time efficiently, etc etc is above and beyond some of my fellow drivers. On two routes that I've covered and run quite a bit, going at a regular pace (not running stops off, not skipping lunch, etc etc), I have done the route so much faster and in less miles than the normal driver that they did performance audits on that driver. They were kinda annoyed about it but, I don't know what to tell them. When I first started I used to run a lot, skip most of my lunch, and just in general do things wrong haha. Over time I have slowed down a lot, just trying to get a more manageable pace going. I never skip my lunch anymore, and I try to not jog while doing residentials (unless I'm blocking the middle of the road and there's traffic). Because of peak season my pace has increased quite a bit, but will calm back down after X-mas. You guys like what the policy for the day after Christmas is? Only delivering the send agains from Christmas Eve? That ought to be a pretty damn short shift haha. I am hoping I won't have to work it though so I can go do something for the holidays. [/QUOTE]
