[QUOTE="pretzel, post: 770664, member: 30643"] Thanks for your comments and suggestions. I have not been delivering any resi's and I usually have about 4-8 resi stops that are apartments anyways its all business im down by the docks. I know I could be faster in the back of my truck. Problem is sometimes I have 3-6 stops from one position im parked and I look at edd to get one side of the street done then I fill up the hand cart and hit the other side so I know I waste some time finding the packages for the 2-5 stops but I load my hand truck in my car and walk right out the back seems to make up some time and I always have about 3 cod's friday I had 8. So its pretty much all business. When I go to one business at a time im pretty fast because I can memorize the hin and my next five stops but when I hit the next street its all shops and thats when I hit 2-5 deliveries per stop and I cant memerize all those hins or the hins are the same as the other addresses so I just have to peice through the packages to make sure there the right ones. As far as the comment about my rights its my understanding that for 30 days I have no protection. When I talked to the union about not making it the second time for not hitting there numbers we had a discussion with my union rep and management nothing happened. Although we have a new slate or council whatever they call it now. Perhaps this job isnt for me and I am just too slow. Although I dont believe that and I am not going to give up. I talked with a friend who works in another hub close to me and his route practicly mirrors mine and he gets about 90-100 stops off by 3 but he has been doing it a while. So I will talk to some of the other drivers that have done that route and see how they did it and what they did. Problem is its been 2.5 years since they have hired new drivers and they route im on the lady is on injury and she has been doing it for 18 years. It's obvious to me that I have to ask around see what my co-workers know and talk to the union about training routes. Personally I love this route I get to see the boats and ships and the people are pretty nice they dont even mind that im sweating like a 2 dollar whore every time they se me. [/QUOTE]
