[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 476469, member: 4653"] In the past my opinion was pickups are better than deliveries. I would rather spend my time picking up parcels than delivering them. For this reason I always seek out pickup volume. I had a route about 1-2 years ago that had 23 PUs. With my deliveries I was always around 9.1-9.3. I put a sales lead in for a new shipper. Well this customer ships 50-80 grounds! That would be OK but at least 5 of them are over 70 lbs. and at least 2.5 feet in diameter! It makes the route over 9.5 now, but I guess the volume gain makes up for it? No help is sent to keep me under 9.5. I want to grow the businesss. I just don't want it to happen on my route so I'm over 9.5. This is a legitimate gripe I believe. I don't want to work more than 9 hours. I don't want more than 9 any day but its the nature of the business that I'm willings to accept. I thought it was wonderful to gain the pick-up. Problem is UPS didn't take any house calls off of me. I know have to work over 9.5 everyday. I don't want over 9.5 and I work it due to 1 sales lead. What do I do now? Enter another one so I'm over 10 everyday??? Sorry, but I'm done. [/QUOTE]
