[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 2998625, member: 14596"] Overall not a bad thought, but why should I shoot for an 8 for all? What about the guys that want as much OT as they can get? Send them to help the guys that can't get it done? oops, if I do that I am violating the contract because before I look for people to help technically I should be doing it by seniority, not those that have said they want more work or those closest. And if I am constrained by orders from on high as to number of routes, or worse a problem staffing day (such as the yearly Monday after the Superbowl flu. I swear some day I am going to file for a government grand to study that virus.) I am going to have to load people up. I will of course try to even as much as possible, but unless the whole center is on the 9.5 list I will have to try to avoid those guys as much as possible. There is a huge disconnect in communication at a lot of levels in UPS. Of course, that is true about all large organizations. I know I amuse some drivers on this forum that think I am totally ignorant of what a driver deals with on a daily basis. I am equally amused by the drivers who think they know what management has to deal with (that's not aimed at you Above10200, just kinda doing a stream of consciousness here). Look at my debate earlier with Faceplant about running ground with air. He claimed that he cannot foresee what might happen in his day after leaving the building, so he has to run straight air. Yet he likely, as many drivers do, believe a DPS should be able to foresee everything that every driver in a 75 route center will run into 12 hours before the first drivers punch in. Its laughable.
