[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 363687, member: 4653"] Does everyone share my opinion on add/cuts being a waste of time and resources? I say this because the preloader seldom finds every parcel leaving the driver to drive to that area for 1 or 2 parcels which we were trying to avoid from the start. If it could be done so 100% of the work is moved and then moved in a logical section of my package car, I'd be all for it. Presently I'm getting an 'add' stuck in my 7500 section. Now, I'm closest to this 'add' around the 4000 section. Why isn't it put here? If I didn't notice these 7 stops (why 7 stops I ask, why? Why not 6 or 8 ?) early in the day I would have been forced to drive 2 miles back through traffic to service these 7 stops. Luckily I noticed one of the parcels on the floor and planned accordingly. Another problem is having 10-15 added to you that is not in your edd. This makes for a nice surprise at the end of your day:angry: I understand the company wants to even the dispatch, but at what cost are they willing to do it? Is it really that important that you waste pre-loader time, driver time and fuel to service the ones that were not found by the preload? Are we not paying the same wage to every driver? If so, why does it matter if driver A or B delivers them as they are both earning $42+/hour by the time of the day an add/cut would be serviced? My solution: just let the drivers move 10 stops from their 8000 section to other drivers in the loop who are light. This would take about 5 minutes to accomplish and would eliminate every headache I described above. The preloader will now be able to wrap instead of wasting time digging through the load for the add/cut. The driver will now know what he has for extra stops. He will know exactly what they are, where they are, and what section they are in. It would save many minutes of labor costs from the driver because he won't be looking through his load for a pacrel that isn't there. This 5 minutes can save the company many more minutes in labor and fuel. How can you argue against that? I'm curious if someone can please? [/QUOTE]
