[QUOTE="PPH_over_9000, post: 4831683, member: 79761"] So I'm covering for a driver this week with some super heavy pick-ups (compared to what I'm used to.) A little background info: ~160 resi stops, about 50 businesses Pick-ups start at 11:30am. 11:30, 11:45, 11:45, 12:15. Then I'm supposed to do resi before the HEAVY pick-ups start at 14:30, 14:45, 15:00, 15:00, 15:30. Then resi's again until pick-ups start at 17:30, 17:45, 17:45: 18:00, 18:15, 18:30. I was doing well until I rolled into Target 45min early for a 17:45 pick-up. ~450 pieces later and I'm now late for every other pick-up in my board. On top of that, I can't even move in the back of the truck because it's so packed. So I rolled back to the building, spent another half hour unloading all this crap I just picked up. Went back out and finished my deliveries. The computer says I should've been back at the building at 18:49. :censored:ing how?!? How do you guys manage this many scheduled pick-ups and still get everything delivered? Am I just in for a week of 9pm-10pm punch-outs or am I * and just don't know how to run this route? This doesn't even include the 4 on-demand alerts for resi pick-ups I got throughout the day that had me retracing steps for every single one. Alert comes through at 3pm? Yeah, I was on that street at 10am and I have no :censored:ing clue how to get back to to. Next alert comes through: ":censored:! I was on that street around 11am." Over and over again. I also like how they have me scheduled to be at two addresses during the same pick-up window for stops that are liable to push several hundred pieces onto my truck at a time. On top of all that, how do I fit an hour-long lunch break into a route that had me out 'til 9:30pm without a single 10min break, let alone an entire hour. What the :censored: am I doing wrong?
