[QUOTE="1080Driver, post: 88928, member: 5025"] Hey guys, I started driving in a Brooklyn, NY center in 1990. At the time, we came out of a building in Maspeth (Queens). Then about a year later, UPS opened a building in Brooklyn (Foster Ave.) to serve just Brooklyn. That building is in a pretty funky area with some nasty projects near it. It wasn't uncommon to hear guns shots while walking from the building to the parking lot a block away. I was doing a route fairly regularly in not such a nice area . I got jumped & was robbed while delivering 1 day & then figured its time to transfer to a nicer area. I've been in a small building (compared to Maspeth & Foster Ave.) for around 13 years & its alot different between the 2 buildings. The building I'm in covers the lower 1/3 of Westchester County. Out of our building there are 2 centers....each running approx 35/40 loads daily. Routes in my center I'd say run 110-140 stops with most of the retail being DR. Pickups in the area for the most part I'd say are lighter than the pickups I did in Brooklyn.........I have 20 PU stops & I rarely pickup more than 20/25 pieces. I generally drive right around 40 miles a day. Thats about the basics...............anyone else??? [/QUOTE]
