[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 318226, member: 12570"] Before the strike and long before the advent of PAS/EDD, it was not uncommon in our center for a new loader to ride with the driver for a day to get a feel for the route and to learn any preferences that the driver may have (bulk stop here, load this here as I deliver this stop with that bulk stop, etc) which would help both the loader and driver. Suggest that now and they will laugh you right out of the bldg. I am very lucky in that I have an excellent loader. He actually is self-motivated and has the ability to change my load as the volume dictates and then tells me what changes he has made. I very rarely run off trace. Unfortunately, as is often the case, the good preloaders get promoted to driving and then who knows what I will end up with. [/QUOTE]
