[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 814173, member: 4653"] I agree our ctr. manager would like us on road earlier and so would I. However, I don't think start times could be a negotiated item in the contract. In my humble opinion there are too many variables at play to make it a binding contract issue. Still, they need to get us out on road earlier and I don't see why upper managment can't achieve that goal. I'm always told to "make it happen" when there is a question if I will make the air door or 9.5. I think upper management should just "make it happen" in this case. We used to start at 825 and now its 855. With all the improved technology, managment is getting worse at getting us out the door but they expect its drivers to do 10-20 more stops/day in the same amount of time because of the benefit of EDD/PAS. In other words they expect an improved performance from us because of technological and logistical improvements but can't actually improve themselves. Who is looking at their numbers? Fed-Ex express is kicking our butt by showing up to every stop 20 minutes earlier than I do and our customers notice this. Forget about Fed-Ex Ground! They are delivering at 7 AM about the same time I'm rolling out of bed. Things like this really make believe its the drivers who make the company what it is. Can you imagine if every UPS driver was replaced by a Fed-Ex driver? HA! the company would be in real trouble THAT day! lol. The system needs to be reset. They need to get the drivers back earlier so the sort can go down earlier among other things. To accomplish this they would have to add more routes and we all know this 'just ain't happenin'. So we are stuck with an ever later start time, unfortunately. At least thats the way I see it... [/QUOTE]
