Saturday Sheet Show

[tourists24]

I talked to our IE guy one day. He explained to me why some routes pick up allowance is so off.

He said too many drivers go to the pick up load up then open the pick up and scan the end of day then stop complete it. He said this throws the whole system off. Even if you loaded 100 pieces for 30min the computer thinks you loaded a couple totes full of smalls because the pick up was only opened for a few seconds.

He said what you should always do is stop the truck. Open the pick up then load everything. Then do not close the pick up till you're ready to drive away.

Problem is everyone's time allowance is already set because they did the time study a long time ago.

I had to admit I didn't know thats how it worked and am guilty of doing it myself.

If something as simple as that causes issues then no wonder ORION is so screwed up. It shouldn't matter when you open and close a pickup. My time allowance is how long it takes lol

[Hellobrown2000]

It's so bad that they are paying new drivers here a bonus. Like seriously? Everyone wanted this job at one time

A bonus for what?

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

A bonus for what?

For qualifying

 

[Coldworld]

And pulls add corrections etc. walks them to the clerks, etc. etc.
Dave, you have admitted to this in the past.

For the new drivers...Please understand the time allowances can, and are changed by management when it suits them. So some routes have great time allowances and some are nearly impossible to scratch. Don't worry about beating the numbers. Over the years on some routes I was an hour over allowed on a consistent basis. On another I was over an hour under every day. The numbers do not reflect reality. Just work at a reasonable pace and let management worry about the numbers.

You said the key word here 35years.... reasonable. Not run your ass off...

If you are missing a package and can't find it within 30 seconds move on to the next stop.

As they say, mileage is king. Driving back somewhere after finding the stop later costs miles. We have to search for misloads anyway mid-day. Can't find something, look until you know its not there... I actually just sort the load when looking for misloads.
