[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 511565, member: 4653"] I was going to say that telematics may relieve a huge weight from my shoulders. I say this because the on-road can never ask me why I was paid over. He has all the information he needs at the click of the mouse. Its a relief because I can now not worry about how far behind I am. Telematics will prove why and I can focus on delivering the remaining packages. I will have a cool head and use the methods as close as possible to perfection for the rest of the day. I know it shouldn't matter. We should do the job methodically regardless of the dispatch and load quality. Most of us do 95% of the time. P-man listed the essential elements we must follow to avoid dicipline. Nobody can do that 100% of the time, not even you P-man.:happy2: The problem is we are human and not robots. Emotion comes into play and we get angry and ignore the methods to get the job done faster. When your truck is not loaded properly so that you can't find the right number of packages at every stop it aggrivates you. If we spend 2 minutes at 15 stops looking for the 8th or 9th parcel, we are 1/2 hour paid over right off the bat. Add to that all the other things that happen in an imperfect world and the paid over number begins to snowball. I'm not saying it happens everyday, but all of us have found ourselves 1-2 hours behind on a route and we all know that time can't be made up. What ticks me off is that my sup. will mention it to me that I was 2 hours paid over that day. It aggrivates me because it happens about 1 in 90 days. Based on this number he fails (or chooses to ignore) the fact that maybe the preload might share the blame? [/QUOTE]
