[QUOTE="Xexys, post: 1277582, member: 47259"] When I drove, I was a split driver for the first 4 years. I never went out on a route with anybody. They would tell me the route, and it was up to me to get the necessary maps from the office. I learned 56 routes like this, almost every one in our center. I was the "go to" guy for management. We didn't have EDD, PAS, or Orion throughout my driving career. Once I did get my own route, many told me that my route was set up the best they've ever seen. I averaged 145 miles and 105 stops a day. 98 stops was an 8 hour day. Towards the end of my driving career it ballooned up to 130 stops. Many times out of my 8-12 pickups, I would have less than 10 packages on my truck when returned to building. Ah, those were the days... And and and...when I loaded cars I knew all the charts by memory and never had to use them. I loaded 5 cars at the end of the belt (rollers). Some said I had a photographic memory to which some degree I agree. I agree with gman042 with the sense of entitlement deal. New drivers should look to the old timers for assistance. They've been through it all. [/QUOTE]
