[QUOTE="The Youngin' Of It All, post: 3441708, member: 66633"] Anyone been keeping up with the stock and those projections of growth forecasted from earlier this week? My guys are getting killed over here to the point where it feels like it's going to turn into mail route. I bought another truck not too long ago too because of oversize (P1000). Given the 6 day a week roll out coming in the Fall the structure is almost going to have to change in how you run this operation. It's almost like you're going to need X amount of spare drivers and trucks to sufficiently meet the requirements. My goal is to have a driver learn all the routes and rotate the work schedule where it can suffice a 6 week operation. There's no way you're going to be able to make these guys work 6 days without burning them out. I actually think peak season was easier to run 6 days a week but we'll adapt just like we did without the VRP. Change is definitely coming. [/QUOTE]
