I was also under the impression that loop mates were supposed to help each other out. When I pulled my first truck in, I saw my helpee's loop mate's truck already docked. Driver nowhere to be seen. Yes, he has more seniority than me, but he had nowhere near the workload on his rural route today.

Don't assume just because you did more pieces. His day was easier. We had an in town driver who took a
ty route and turned it into the worst route in the building with his running. Management loved him. Why can't you be more like him blah blah blah. Well they used his route as a training route and put him out on the rural routes to show us guys how it was done. Two 14 hour days and many missed pieces later he was put back in town.

One reason I'm glad to have Orion.... No pm dispatch.

Deplorable.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this dispatch. Forget being the heaviest route in the building, this may be the heaviest route in the company.

There will still be PM dispatching with ORION. Over 9.5s and under dispatching will cause it.

A good pm dispatcher can make a center run a lot smoother.

Ours has a TP60 but after it's emptied and dropped the route is cake.

If they ask you if you'd like to help someone you can say no.
If they tell you to go help joe and you refuse you can be fired.
I think that's kind of a bull
It took me quite a few years before I had enough people under me and a route I could finish early before I did that.
The drivers I tended to do that to were total runner/gunners that took every shortcut they could to get in, even at the expense of customers. One in particular would scream like a pig when she got sent back out. She didn't think she should work more than seven hours a day.
That was fun.

This is why Unions are are losing favor in the US.
Do your job to your ability and talk it over with your supervisor.
Crap happens on occasion but if it is reoccurring, warn sup.
I ran a mall in a box truck in the early eighties that hit 1000 pieces delivered/picked up daily.
And, I didn't/couldn't break eight hours.
Union are what made this country. They are being broken because the rich people don't want to pay people a fair days wage, give people pensions and good health care. They wantto line there pockets with more money.
These days ORION tell us how long it should take to do the route if you run it faster and get told to go help someone that's your problem. It you run your route and come in just under the ORION numbers I don't see what your issue is. A fair days pay for a fair days work.
I was over paid . 01 hours the other day on a 10 plus hr planned day I timed it pretty dam good. I didn't bust my ass and I didn't drag my feet. I knew when I left the building what pace I needed to work at to make the ORION numbers and I executed my plan almost perfectly.
