Had a pcm not to long ago and we we're told to pull pkg car up to form straight line with front door of house or business and walk directly through yards to the delivery point. Methods taught us years ago to use drive way to walk paths. This is because it's faster to walk a straight line. Well no
. Who else out there does it this way and which do you prefer?
Yrs ago, while still in P/C, had a center manager riding with training a newbie supe (yeah, three of us in the car). The center manager was sposed to be training the supe on how to train us so it was a no-brainer for me, poor supe had horrible hangover, tho, and had to duck into cans at every building stop to hork.
Anyway, had dock shot. Lots o doors, nice day, all doors open, was only truck, er, scuse, me, CAR there. Backed in about the fifth door down (cuz that's where they wanted the stuff), walked over to the stairs, walked in the building, unloaded, walked back over to the stairs to go out to the, er, CAR.
center manager askes, "Why didn't you jump off the dock, it would have been quicker?" I gave him the same deer-in-the-headlights look that we get from them and said, "Is that what we're sposed to do?" He says, "Well, no, but it would have been quicker". I proceeded to inform him that I didn't care about being quicker, I was more concerned about my knees and back.
No more said. Let's see, he's gone, supe is gone and guess who's still here?
