[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 2030084, member: 198"] Many people are confused about what a back first exception actually is. It's called a back[I] "first"[/I] to signify that a driver backed [I]before completing the next stop[/I]. Not to signify that we got in the truck and went straight to reverse. The magic number, or threshold, needed to avoid it is the real problem. It's too long and corporate seems to want to keep it a secret. One of my sups told me that the big whigs in our district are keeping it from the CMs and OSRs. I don't worry about avoiding back firsts but i heard one trick is to leave a stop and back like you normally would and then stop just shy of the next delivery point, shut the truck off, start it again, move forward a bit, then stop and make the delivery. Starting the truck again and turning it off apparently resets the timing and won't count the last back. Supposedly because [I]no stop was completed[/I] after backing first. [/QUOTE]
