[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 1061357, member: 18708"] You didn't mention what type of route you are doing. If it's some thrown-together 8 town nightmare split route of residential stops, you'll be hard pressed to look good on paper without superior area knowledge. Don't worry about production and just be safe. Even the most experienced drivers would and do have a difficult time in areas they don't know house numbers, traffic patterns and all of the other nuances. Plus, it gets dark very early so flashlights are handy. After your ndas/ bulk stops, I would suggest setting up 10 stops at a time and not worrying about being fancy or breaking that plan. Brick out the shelve spaces with your 5-8k sections and create as much room as you can for 2-4 up front. you'll probably miss a couple business pcs and have to go back but you'll be much quicker getting what you can get done, done.. Then again you may have a mostly resi route, as I mentioned above. ;) Much of this sounds impossible because of the fact you literally cannot walk through your truck, but it can come together. Peak is a rough time, though. [/QUOTE]
