Well, I'm running P/D this week. Not real happy about it, but that's another story. Anyway, Monday I did 12 stops in 11.75 hours and logged 424 miles.
How'd I do?
Why did they take you off your run for the week? Is it as the Duck says?

The Duck is close, real close... No, when a pedal run driver goes on vacation, they seem to have a hard time trusting a untried driver with it. So, they'll tap one of the drivers that they know can handle it and on this particular route that happens to be me. This run was my pedal route before I went to L/H, so I know the area and could use the change of pace anyway. I don't really mind all that much, I just wish I was asked instead of told, ya know?
Did a little better today, 17 stops in 12.25 hours, logged 384 miles
Braceface,when the bill count started in miami a few months ago,alot of drivers were woried,but after a while,you realize its out of our control! We don't tell them how many deliveries to put in our truck and we definatley cant give our opinions to the dispatcher,so just deliver what we have and pick up what they tell us.thats all we can do.the T.M knows who works and who doesnt.
Truckdriver.............YOU TELL"EM, My little go-getter...your terminal manager
As long as they have bean counters telling us how to deliver and pick up freight, we will always have managers that want to do things by the numbers. I had been called into my TM's office a while back on some bullshit remark I had made to another manager about his ineptitude and blaming a service failure on a fellow driver. The TM and I had to be separated by my shop steward until calm could be reestablished. TM later apologized to me, and said that although he knows I am near the last ones to leave the yard from my shift, he has no complaints because I empty and fill the truck every day. A few days later, while rearranging my load to fit a customer's freight that had been sitting on the dock all week, he starts to berate me in front of some dockworkers. I left the yard, stopped to take a customer's phone call, and low and behold, he pulls up alongside me and starts to berate me all over again. Gave me some :: about getting all my work done, (which I always did), I managed to do 1.83 stops per hour that day, and he still didn't want to hear any explantions from me or give me any credit for doing a good day's work. In fact, he took me off my regular route as punishment, and that's how I sustained the injuries that have kept me out of work for 26 straight months. I wonder if is he is happy to be paying me to stay home?
Made 63 stops over the week and worked 62.5 hours ( 70 hours clock), ran a total of 2137 miles doing it.
He probably could care less...
If a man talks to people, and harasses someone like you say your terminal manager did to you, he does not care...
A man should not be allowed to be a manager, and treat his employee's the way this guy treated you.
When I was a manager in the restaurant business, all I ever wanted was employee's that would do there job, that I would not have to worry about..I took good care of those people, and treated them well...
When I became an employee, I decided that I would be the kind of employee that would do my job, and the boss would not have to worry about..
Most of the times they leave me alone, let me do my job, and I take care of our customers. Rarely, (when their boss is on their butt), they are on me, telling me to "Hurry"..(I always hurry), whether they are on me or not..
I hope you are able to heal and get back on your feet...
Wow, where do I sign up?
Working 62.5 hours/wk in the city with no overtime.
12-hour days...who needs a life?
