[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 773543, member: 4653"] If I were the center manager in a real business in which my performance was not based on specific numbers, I would run the center a different way. I understand the number goals come down from corporate and in general if the numbers are met the center will be profitable. The problem is the center manager 'finagles all these bagles' to make his number look good in the process of wasting fuel and labor. If the center was my business I would go with a dispatch plan and stick with it. Once you start screwing with it money gets thrown out the window. Drivers driving and meeting to swap work is the least efficent element a driver can perform in a day. They are so hell-bent on idle time yet will allow a driver to drive 5 miles to to swap 15 stops from another driver wasting his time also(I can deliver 10 stops in the time it takes to swap the work. It doesn't matter who delivers the packages it all costs the same so why send another driver to take work and waste the fuel? Get the dispatch right and let the drivers deliver their work. I believe this is the most efficient way to get it done. Why mess with it? You had a guy at 9 and one at 10, why put them both over 10? [/QUOTE]
