[QUOTE="soberups, post: 850415, member: 14668"] It takes a special kind of determination and courage to pull the truck over at noon for a full and uninterrupted lunch break when you [I]know[/I] that to do so means that you will be bringing business stops back as missed. Its not something I enjoy doing, but unfortunately its a boundary that must be drawn sometimes. If you knuckle under...even once...then you might as well be loaning a heroin addict $50 and expecting to get it back. You [I]wont[/I] get it back, and the next day they will be hitting you up [I]again[/I]. My building has been in operation for 25 years. In that time they have run over 6,500 complete preload and dispatch operations for the areas that we service. [U]The bottom line is that there arent any secrets left[/U]. [B]Management has all of the information and data that they need to make the [I]correct dispatch decisions[/I] for the work. They simply lack the wisdom or the willingess to make those decisions[/B]. So unfortunately, it often falls to us to be the messenger of the bad news that whatever half-assed plan they came up with to cut routes is going to fail. I dont enjoy being that messenger, but I do it anyway for my own good as well as the long term good of the customers [I]and[/I] the company. Its called "tough love" and its just as tough on me as it is on them. [/QUOTE]
