PVD NIGHTMARES

[Overpaid Union Thug]

The effectiveness of a helper is directly related to the effectiveness of the driver.

So your helpers started the day on their knees?

....or you could take the time to show him/her the basics of the DIAD to where they could be part of a team rather than just a runner....they will also feel more engaged and would be more willing to bust their butt....

Runner? Busting their butt? LOL. Yeah I figured you for someone that instructed helpers not to follow the methods. And based on your quote above that one it’s apparent you didn’t either.

 

[The Driver]

Sure you can----it's called a kick in the butt.

Two or three Peaks ago we had a newbie who was struggling on a heavy commercial route. I was "asked" to go help him out two days in a row. When I was "asked" again I let him know in no uncertain terms that he needed to step it up as I was tired of having to bail him out on a daily basis.

He was one of our better drivers when I retired.

Does the Ivory Towers know what a valuable resource you are?
Assuming the BOG has a long runway, they should dispatch the corporate jet to pick you up and return to the Towers so you can save the sinking ship.

I never seen somebody “talk shop” as much as you after being retired

Are those bells and whistles still working in that sweet Altima?

Excited to retire, tons of grand plans.

Maybe he sits outside the center in the morning hoping to get a glimpse of his old pkg car?

And how many are really true?
