Message:: [QUOTE="Grumppy, post: 12303794, member: 54431"]Micro: small Micro management is monitoring every small detail. Management wants to control every aspect of your work. Rule, rules & rules. Then rules to cover those rules, then a 3rd set of rules to cover all of those previous rules. Some companies say, "here's you paperwork, see you in a few days." Some companies, control how & when you can & can not get your paperwork, exactly what you do with your paperwork. Special procedures for getting your load, 4 special documents to fill out load info, when to leave, specific route to take to get to your destination. When, where & how long you can stop for fuel, lunch etc. Some want you to call & report in every certain period of time while under dispatch (& some while not under dispatch). The list goes on. Another example: Electronic logs is a form of micro managing. Enter specific info when, where, how etc down to the specific minute.... no wait... down to the second.Guys with paper logs do basically the same thing but not so specific. More relaxed & not constantly or electronically monitored every second of 24/7/365. More relaxed to adapt when real life happens. Imagine that... real life scenarios in trucking.[/QUOTE]
