[QUOTE="HomeDelivery, post: 1306528, member: 33696"] management doesn't really care about a driver's start time in HD, but it does help to come in early so you can sort/load/flex stops from one route to the other/ adjust for someone who wants an early day, etc... Ground has to come in early enough because they do more B2B stops, where some businesses have banker's hours & more timed pickups... so i guess they're more controlled in terms of start times?!? contractors, well the good ones, are very flexible w/ their crew & i've seen a few of them that changes things on the fly when one of their own drivers calls out sick like sam said in an earlier post ~ they don't really care if he runs his area w/ 6 drivers working 12 hour shifts or 10 drivers working 8 hour shifts... as long as his service area is covered. the only things that management has a hand in with the drivers are the proper P&D procedures & making sure the vehicles are DOT compliant (lights working? tires in spec?) ~ other than that, i just walk in & do my own thing i've seen some come in as late as NOON to start their day <shrugs> one is a runner-gunner & has a sweet route that he can knock out by 1900 [/QUOTE]
