When your area is 600sqmi, mostly resi, 10% major town, 80% rural/two bars and a post office towns, 30% roads not plowed until 3 days after the snowfall, yes, it become a challenge. Most of our experienced, soon to retire/retired CRRs out in those areas would dry-erase their routes on laminated sheets just so they didn't mess up and forget something. I'm don't want to attack you personally -- but it sounds like you haven't actually run a route like this for any amount of time. These are the routes that are 45 stops/11 hours on road one day, and then 60 stops and 7 hours the next. It all depends on how the stops fall for that day.
also......
Even our old guard at our station has been just giving up. When DRA/ROADS explodes, it's a defecation spectacular because veteran CRRs "forget" how to run their routes. Do they actually forget because they are so complacent with technology where they just throw their hands in the air and go "I CANT DO THIS OMG" or are they just getting back at a company that doesn't really give a
about their employees? As with everything, it's a little of both, but I have a feeling with some of them it's more the second than the first and when it hits the fan, it allows them to do more of the latter for "reasons" of the former.
I've love to see it happen, but I doubt it. I mean the whole Amazon basically controls and runs those DSPs and the government is looking the other way..... you think they are going to care about us and our pesky little "airline".
... and we hear the screetch from Dano... "BUT I THINK I DESERVE IT" it sounds like you think the company owes it to you -- screw loyalty, you're higher paid, so you get what you get,
. God, how hard is it to comprehend that you put your time in, you get to have your seniority. I mean, that's basic Marine logic or has corporate already starting to expunge the whole Freddy Smith "like the Marines"-style indoc?
