[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 820735, member: 6408"] d and tie, let me chime in here. As a retired feeder driver, well 30 of my 32 yrs was in feeder, I can attest to the validity of both statements. About the last half of my career was spent on sleeper or mileage but I kept and still (as you do danny) keep in touch with other drivers. Tie is right that most on-road times are pretty good, on paper. Most turn-around times are crap! Won't go into ALL the details here but one example comes to mind: Driver was dispatched to another hub. Was given only 4 min, on arrival, to post, break doubles, spot dolly, spot trailer in door, raise trailer in door (when we had mostly air/hydraulic legs), pull out, go inside, sign off CCR and punch whatever was next. Reasonable? I think not. Did he tell scheduler? Of course. Was anything done. Again, of course not. Did he care that he was over? After that, of course not. Show more shifts on IVIS? Most hubs/centers don't want anymore shifting on their record. OK. You put in 2 and 1 when you actually did 3 and 1...there ain't no room for that unless you brought in enough trailers to justify. Also, home domicile then complains that you're showing too many moves. I used to figger that anything I had to touch that was out of the ordinary was a move but home doesn't feel that way. What else can be done? Ride with me and SHOW me how you can do this turnaround faster in the UPS safe way! [/QUOTE]
