[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 4564455, member: 77939"] I agree with all that except: lying about your eta. Could bring trouble. In my experience, lunch was a distant goal that could never really be achieved(even after 14 years on the same area). Now, I spent customer time sure with folks I liked. A mechanical breakdown or hour long anything pretty much destroyed your day. My career as a pkg driver was pretty much 10 hours of on the go working. I had a nut and bolt industrial area with 50+ pickups, NDA to 10:30 and 100+ stops. It was something you got used to. It kept me fit and I could work/walk circles around anyone in blazing heat. All this got me to thinking about modern on board communications and how it used to be on paper. Paper maps, no phones....having to find a phone and customers relaying messages to call the center. I can't recall any mgt. questioning how I ran my area-ever. My annual rides never lasted more than an hour and never into the afternoon heat. On roads didn't want any part of hard work. That's the way it was. [/QUOTE]
