I’m bidding on another route
















Least that’s what I tell the rookies who are worried they’ll lose theirs.

So how much do routes really get shuffled around?

Seems like the first couple weeks could be fun watching the numbers just plummet lol

We bid every year here, it's not that big a deal. There's always few people who switch but most of the senior drivers stay put.

Why would you do that? I've never understood the perverse pleasure folks get out of that......I didn't appreciate it when I was a rookie and I won't do it to the people below me now that I haven't been a rookie in over 20 years.

What is this bidding routes thing???

Some places bid on actual routes, not some sort of freaky bid on a start time thing

I have given thought 2 bid inside the building.

The new mantra is you don't bid a route. You bid a position in a loop.

Gives them a lot more flexibility in screwing up routes.

Lmao.... I love spreading rumors like that around bid time

Rookies will think they are going to win a bid

... until the vets wait until the last day to sign the bid sheet.

Baseline.

Baseline.

Baseline routes used to end up garbage splits but with pocket dispatch they can screw up any route.

Here, the cba says the bid must depict the baseline on it.

They have taken a lot of my pickups off my route since my original bid ... thus more resi stops ....not pleased

Yes but the point is the baseline route borders other loops and are where most adjustments start. By loop dispatch its a chain effect of moving stops between cars but that goes away when its ignored and they treat it as stops are stops (easier for PDS even though it violates loop dispatch rules). For instance the A route should be farthest from the baseline but that doesn't stop them from throwing anything they want on it to meet their stops per car metric.

So what's new. They're only as good as the pds. There you go.
Fail.

I could honestly care less what I run every day. If it’s a heavy route they will lower my dispatch or pay me handsomely for running it.

anyone thinking they’ll hop on my route and have the same dispatch is in for a rude awakening. My current route can get ugly if you let them do it to you.
