When you're only working part-time on preload, all days stink. Some just stink more than others - and today was one of those really stinky days.
Thanks to the typical Friday route cuts, the trucks I load went out full on Friday.
Friday night, they came back half full, or better, because the majority of businesses were closed.
I spent the first hour and half of my shift resorting packages that were left in the cars. The next 4 ours were loading most of the packages that were supposed to be delivered. About 2 dozen or so from some bulk stops remained on the belt for someone else to deal with.

My day not bad, but I'm covering a nearly 100% resi route. I'll be done under 8'and I am not a "runner".
On the other hand I saw a route that is heavy business with 545 packages planned for it. As I left the building I saw sups at that car trying to figure out what to do. Apparently it wouldn't all fit.

True but we were talking about letter boxes with mega numbers of envelopes. Gotta scan em all.
Today wasn't bad at all. Foresee a lot of routes getting chopped tomorrow.
Holy crap.

And plenty of time to post on BC....
I finished in 7.5 but got my 8 waiting for ltr box. A surprisingly light day, and numerous routes were cut.

Stops weren't bad but bulk killed at 600 plus pieces. Pick ups actually weren't crazy. Still got 11 hours though. It's going to be a weird week

Sure did suck. Cut a M-friend rt right next to me. 2 sets of commercial stops. 2 sets of Pickups. Good thing we get paid by the hour

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
They told us 4 less routes I think. Which is about a 20% cut

deep down inside I really do not care
Glad for you.My dispatcher bent me over yesterday.Clocked in @ 08:11,clocked out @ 20:26.
I run a light package car route but my pick-ups are in a 24 ft van so I have to return to the center to change vehicles and leave the center no later than 14:30. Yesterday I had 109 miles and 62 stops in before my pick-ups.After my pick-ups(1387 pieces all hand loaded)I had to go back out in the package car and run 37 miles for 12 stops.84 package car stops,my route goes red at 67 stops.
Monday the 6th did indeed inhale.
