[QUOTE="!Retired!, post: 5340288, member: 24309"] Yes, the couriers know the areas better than the engineers [B]to do deliveries[/B]. No way you would ever get 2-4 (depending on the loop) couriers to be able to divvy up the work without some kind of disagreement. I'm not saying, nor would I ever say the engineers are perfect. But, even before we had EStar, DRA and SRA the engineers would 'set the borders' If one area was heavy on a particular day, we would 'balance' with each other. You remember those days? Do you also remember the person taking the work would say 'Don't give me this stop' 'Don't give me that stop' 'You keep that area and give me this one' etc? Depends on the driver. My loop, and the 2 on either side of me, would come to me to speak to the engineer. Why? I'm not sure, but she took what I said under more consideration than them. Maybe the way I spoke to her? Maybe because I didn't 'whine and cry' like others? Maybe because she knew I didn't try and snake my way out of work or an area? . [/QUOTE]
