[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 419208, member: 13921"] I had my helper deliver bulk stops at the start of the day, while he was doing that, I would set up what I had room for. When I got to areas where both of us would do multiple stops, we would do that. I'd park and we would each walk off a couple of stops. I NEVER set up anything while he was in the truck. When running resis, I would get the next stop while he was delivering the current stop. I would put the package on the floor, he would scan as we were driving to the next stop and enter DR info while walking back to the truck. At the longer driveways that had to be walked, I would set up more. Generally, once I had the whole load set up, I could drop off my helper. No apts on route, so I could generally deliver faster alone. I generally had my helper for 3-4 hours and was usually +.30-60. I see the same thing happening this year. Use my helper to pound off the bulk and close together businesses while I get the resis set up, then drop him off and go to work. One other thing...... Last year, I had a p12000. That was sah-weet. By 10:30 everything was off the floor and set up. Those 12 extra feet of shelf space (compared to a p1000) is HUGE. The only place the extra length sucked was going into or coming out of alleys. I also bought my helpers coffee/hot chocolate everyday and then gave them a holiday bonus and took them out for lunch on the last day. Preloader gets $50-100 depending on the year..... even $50 seems to be money well spent. TB [/QUOTE]
