[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 240208, member: 10234"] My guess is that you will regret it. brownieboy is pretty close to being right. If the PAS/EDD system had been set up right in the first place, the job might not be near as bad. First off (if I understand the job correctly) you will get a report with the amount of pkgs and stops that are projected to reach your center that day (for some reason these projections are almost always low). Then you will be told how many cars you can have on road. Then it's up to you to spread the dispatch out over these cars. Oh, by the way, there will be 2-6 more cars worth of work than you are allowed to dispatch. You will have to make moves (add/cuts) to even the dispatch. The work moved will most likely make no sense, but that's not your problem. The problem lies in the system itself. But you'll be the one catching the crap. Unless they're going to be paying you a boatload more money, I think I'd pass. Of course you won't know how much you're going to make until you take the plunge. As a driver I make pretty good money. But I'm afraid they'd have to pay me twice what I'm making now to even think about it. Good luck, no matter what you chose to do. [/QUOTE]
