[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 494882, member: 4653"] This thread made me think of a question that I would love to get everyone's opinion. What type of route do you think is best for the health and longevity of the driver? Would it be the residential route of 160-190 stops and 220 delivery pieces or the industial routes that have 40-60 stops (300-400 pieces) and 30 pickups? I have a driver in my center that swears by the residential routes. He pointed out more than 2 drivers who can no longer parcel after being on an industrial route for many years. This opinion comes from a driver who has been injury and accident free for more than 20 years. I have to agree with him. Even if you follow the methods every time, those over 70's will eventually kill your back. I suppose the residential route may hurt the knees more because the in and out of the truck, but I think the back injury is much more serious. [/QUOTE]
