[QUOTE="letticesandwich, post: 1517131, member: 48588"] Well thursday was light, 130 stops, mostly residential. I took a half hour lunch and get the call to help at 4 when I finished. Friday was 160, same mostly residential route. Done at 4:45. Same half hour lunch break. Usually when I finish I take my last half of break. Go to a corporate building to wash up and use the bathroom. I can't sit for an hour. Well I can, but I also don't want to be cold and in the dark. I don't speed, its been :censored: weather for weeks now. Its not hard you know? If I know where the stop is, as soon as a stop is done I forget about it, and next stop is what's up. 20 stops an hour is what I shoot for and that's not hard to surpass. I take my time and don't want to hurt myself. End of the day a 20 pound box ends up feeling like 40 pounds you know? Some days take 9 hours, some days take less. FT cover driver of 8 months. Not concerned about that really though. Its seldom I get told to pick up extra. Its more about today. I worked the driver job, (white out conditions at 3 p.m. by the way, only 80 stops done in 7 hours, that is not speeding) now I am required to work local sort when they deem necessary? [/QUOTE]
