[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 811598, member: 14176"] Fantastic analogy d. That is how it went down here as well. They locked a supe in a room upstairs for months with the loop detail they bought from the post office without any input from the drivers. Assuming we could service a route the way a mailman walks his day turned out to be ludicrous. Lost in the process was the fact that the route in their pre-reloop form was a loop evolved over years, tailored to service for needs of the customers. Instant gratification in the form of time, miles, and cars on road; soon gave way to lost business. Wholesale loop change is a dangerous game not evident to people with laptops and spreadsheets. You only need to be at the finished end product like driver to see the shortcomings. Now my route, which is an A car, more resembles a base car with different splits added daily from adjacent loops in order to balance out the dispatches. I don't think this is in line with "loop concept". It continues to be my contention that UPS would rather treat symptoms than fix problems. [/QUOTE]
