POLL: New Contract VOTE!!!!

[csparks]

With regards to casing, as stated, everyone is different and does what they want. But when all things are relatively equal, the carriers who get out the earliest and then return to the office first have some things in common.

1. RHD Jeep
2. Take DPS to the street
3. Case small, flat packages

I worked in many offices before going full time years ago and observed and tried about every way of doing this job. My philosophy is to get done as soon as I can so I can spend time with my family. I can measure routes with similar volumes by looking at the time they hit the street (casing time) and then looking at the actual mileage and drive times. Without a doubt, you save no time overall by casing DPS. Working 2-3 bundles is easy when you practice.

Agreed. Although if I case a spur its because its truly flat, like an envelope.

The other thing that has helped me get out quicker is not marking spurs. Because I've got RHD, I can put spurs where I keep and eye on them all the time, though. Obviously, this can come back to bite you if you're not careful. Not something for a new person.

Seems to me the YES votes may have creeped up a bit...
