[QUOTE="728ups, post: 1333377, member: 33372"] It was different world before PASS/EDD The routes in my center averaged 85-100 stops a day(versus 130-150 stops now) ,and the trucks werent as blown out as they are now. The preloader usually loaded 3 package cars instead of the usual four or five now. They had time to load the cars stop -for -stop and misloads were very rare,almost non events. If a loader had a history of misloads he was sent to the purgatory of Unloading until he quit. As has been noted stops were in the same place every day,and the driver was usually in the same place every day. Aside from peak we usually worked 8-8.5 hours a day and the 'numbers' were much more realistic and attainable. You came to work,did your job and went home. There were no endless reports,DOK,telematics,ORION or all of the other rubbish we have now. We actually focused on SERVICE. There was much more of a sense of togetherness and teamwork between hourlies and management,we might have disagreed at times but we were all in it for the common good. We had TLA's in which your supervisor would take you to lunch and try to address any issues you had,and one felt a connection with one's supervisor The Center was a Kingdom,and the center manager was the King. NOBODY from any other department would dare tell the center manager how many routes he could run on a certain day,or meddle in his business I'm sounding like my grandfather but it really was a simpler time [/QUOTE]
