[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 4121230, member: 76548"] Just keep plugging away. Try to fix mistakes in the sorting of the truck as you get room, or make a note in your head of where the packages are as you come across them if they can't be moved to a shelf or where they're supposed to be - saves you the time of looking for stuff over and over. Just remember, the packages will come off, and we get paid by the hour. If there's things that are out of your control, like a bricked out car, or a bad load, snap a picture of the load area. If somebody asks you why you were 2+ hours over, you can show them, instead of trying to explain it. Pictures really are worth a thousand words. Basically, don't stress. It's hard not to feel like you're "behind" all day, but if you can train yourself to remember that there's no set times for how long stops will take you, and that you're right on the pace that your load and bulk for that particular day has allowed you to be on, then you'll feel a lot less under the gun - as long as you're making service on your commercial stops by 5pm and the residentials get delivered by the end of your day - you're not "behind"...you might be overallowed, but that's all just bull:censored: that came from some jerkoff sitting behind a desk making up numbers based off of ideal conditions. Every day is not ideal. I'd venture to say that not even 1 out of every 5 days is ideal. If you get an ideal day here once a month, you should be happy - you're way ahead of most people. This job sucks. There's a reason they're paying us $37 per hour to do it, and it's not because UPS likes giving away free money, it's because the job is relentless. [/QUOTE]
