[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 783630, member: 4653"] Reading these posts makes me laugh and dumbfounds me on Corporate's philosophy. For example, I get questioned and a report is produced every day for nickel and dime things while management pees away 10 driver's nickel and dime transgressions in 2 hours by burning 50 miles of UPS fuel without producing 1 cent in revenue. Day in and day out I hear about my idle time being 2 minutes over its "baseline", or I get talked to because I went 1.5 miles off route (need to find a warm place to spend an hour because I can't idle the truck) for lunch. Despite my "wastefullness", I'm being the most productive laborer in the industry as are all drivers. Our efficiency is what makes the company profitable and not some college drop-out supervisor following us around in a rental car! What does he bring to the table? I'll tell you what he brings. He brings an enormous cost that must be made up by the driver's SUPER productivity.The rental car and the 50 miles a day to spy on drivers is good for business? How? I'll even take the side that if you catch a driver doing something unsafe it might save money if it could prevent an injury. Problem is bad habits die hard and its unlikely that the guilty driver will change his habits once the manager is gone despite being written up. How can you bust my chops for driving .5 miles more than I should when we have 3 sups. per center driving rental cars and buring 15 gallons of fuel each per week? All this without bringing a dime! At least we are delivering the goods that make the company money. I don't get it... [/QUOTE]
