The trick is to get done while it is still light out.
Well i starts to get dark around 4 here in the northeast right now, 5 its full out dark.
Ask your center mechanic if he would upgrade the lighting in the cargo area w/led's. I have done this in mesquite. It is an easy upgrade w/no modifications to the trucks wiring.

How do you guys fair at night? Do you use a flashlight, Im a casual this xmas and my flashlight has become my best friend at when night falls on my route, not to mention im new to the route.
There like condoms I dont like to use them.
Hell I needed a flashlight just to see if that dim dome light in the back of my P800 was even working. What a worthhless POS that light was. I petty-cashed the best flashlight I could find back then--- I think it was about 15 bucks. My center manager was PO'ed and said I better have that flashlight in my truck the day I retired and it was. (I still have it) . We also had an AM about how UPS don't provide flashlights but you could buy your own.

When you are on a route long enough,you shouldn't need a flashlight !! You memorize certian street house numbers that get stuff all the time and then the surrounding #'s shouls come easy to you..
