[QUOTE="GenericUsername, post: 3486753, member: 60623"] I don't like any of the four options. Damages will happen no matter what. Misloads will happen no matter how many things you throw at the preloaders to help them not get them. Human error will cause it regardless. Someone won't scan a package, someone will place a heavier box on top of a lighter box - it'll always happen. Better dispatch and more trucks on the road will help things. Every 4 hours is an 8 hour shift (or around that) of another driver. You have guys working 12 hours a day who run EAMs then run a route. Why not have someone who runs air work the 2 hours extra each driver is working to run EAMs every day? That person could work 4-5 hours a day, 2/2.5 hours inside, the rest running EAMs. Daily operations at my center are beyond stupid in so many cases. There are people going out with 12 hour dispatches, some loops with multiple drivers running that long. This could easily be prevented by adding another driver in the mix to help out. Whatever though, I'm not running the shots. I'll continue being a grunt and keep my mouth shut. [/QUOTE]
