[QUOTE="Steelheader, post: 191355, member: 1814"] Our center has done the same thing. I understand where 25yrvet is coming from, BUT.....UPS is different then it was then. We had a set schedule, and there was no breaking it. We didn't bend that much for the customers needs then. If it wasn't ready, off we went and signed out the book. It's a different ball game now. I've built up alot of volume by being flexible with my customers. I have the last two pickups on my board that I can pickup as late as 7pm (and one I can simply have them fill my TP60 and leave end of day in my Pup). I have days where my accounts are really heavy and days they are very light and of course in between. Days I FLY through the pickups. I'll easily blow the timeline (and have). Also the reverse. Have days I'm so bogged down brickloading my pickups (since I can easily blow out my P1000 and TP60) that I run over my pickup times and drop air so I can finish out my stop and last two pickups. It's a phase, just like everything else. Itll blow out with the wind as well. Plus, I have a few onroute pickups. Depending on how my route runs dictates when I stop in and pickup. It's impossible to dictate, especially on routes that change daily (my route can run from 60% business/40% resi to 95% business/5% resi from day to day all on the SAME route without pulling/adding a split). You just can't win with some of the stuff they want us to do. [/QUOTE]
