[QUOTE="Benben, post: 951879, member: 25133"] I find running scratch is easiest when I do 3 things: 1. [B]Always Keep Moving[/B]. The time I spend behind the bulkhead door is lost forever. 2. [B]Bounce[/B]. What I mean is this; If I have a delivery for 900 Elm and the next one in trace is 100 Elm, why not go 1 block east and hit the 800, 700 and 300 Popular deliveries on my way to the 100 Elm? Why go all the way down just to go all the way back up? 3. [B]Round the Corners[/B]. My air delivery time is sacred to me. I have X amount of air stops due off at 10:30. As I am running those air stops I am doing one of 2 things: 1. Dumping ground-Getting off as many other stops as possible while traveling to my next air delivery. or 2.-Popping those hangers. In other words, getting off those stops that are just a pain in the arse which just don't fit into a nice, smooth, fast trace. I do the second one so that when I really get into trace I don't have to spend 5 mins traveling to and then 5 mins from some oddball address. Too many drivers treat EDD as the [U]END ALL, BE ALL[/U] of their day. It is a tool and nothing more. Use it, don't let it use you. Runnig air backwards so that you end your air run right where trace starts doesn't hurt also. Everyone does this so I feel like a noob even mentioning it. [/QUOTE]
