Just curious what the lightest/most extended route in your center in like? We got one route that does about 215 miles with 70 stops and 80 pieces, all out in the country. I'm sure there have to be some routes somewhere that do half that many stops. Whats the "lightest" where you work?

Our lightest route is currently run by our shop steward. 150-200 miles, 70-90 stops, 4 pickups. When I ran this area it went out heavier----he has been able to get the stop count down at least 10-20 stops.

There are a few in my center that sit in the 225-250 mile range and do 55-65 stops.
Stops per car has really screwed up some routes. Most rural route guys at least swing into a decent sized town now to knock off a subdivision or two to raise their stop count.

3 done 3 to go
In control of own destiny
We have 2 areas. One goes on avg 240 miles with 85 stops. The other is mine with about 180 miles with 100 stops. Both they say are with 9 hr dispatches. More like 9.5. When we need a meet its for less than 10 stops. Just need to drive 20 to 50 miles. To drop pick ups

I've been known to go out with 55 to 60 stops but who counting.

I ran 245 miles with 114 stops Mon and 221-120 yesterday. I do have a couple of small towns that tighten up some of the stops. Most of our 200 milers go out with 100 plus stops.

Unless I was driving 100 miles one way on the interstate for those towns that would be a long ass day for me.

I learned from the best. When I started out I took the advice from someone I knew that was in prison. He said he learned from the oldtimers and the tough guys. It rubbed off. I learned to respect the veterans of this big brown machine. They took me under their wing. Management recognized this as well as the local union. They wanted me as a steward and the rest is just the rest. I love rules and playing by them within a system. They set the system and I dominate it

Yea that sounds like a retarded dispatch.
Ps sorry for the politically incorrect statement.

My route did between 225-250 Mikes a day. 60 stops would be a good day. If I went over 65 stops I would run into trouble for getting back to the building with my air. Plan day was a9.65 day, so they knew they were pushing it daily
