[QUOTE="Netsua 3:16, post: 3807600, member: 73764"] You know what I really like about the lighter dispatches/more routes? It's putting pressure on the sups to be more thorough with their dispatching. Rather than just "yeah we can throw Billy on that 10 hour planned day cold, he'll be fine;" they are actually using serious consideration with every route. He knows this, he doesn't know that, too heavy to put someone out cold on that. As someone who has gone out cold dozens of times with unreasonable expectations, it's nice to know that I'm not going to walk in and get absolutely screwed. I really don't mind going out cold, I enjoy learning new areas. But there are times when it's like a mission impossible and you're stressed all day about missing service. And you know it's purely a result of poor planning, and that if you screw up and miss service it's ALL on you. If you're going to learn a new route, and you actually want to retain what you did throughout the day, it sure is nice to do it on an 8 hour day with no businesses that you don't recognize on the 7000 shelf. Common sense. [/QUOTE]
