To make them happy I ran it 97% one day with ten extra stops, was 35 miles over their "solution" and got off at 21:10.
Lots of head scratching the next morning.

From day 1. I have followed it 95 to 99%. I'm no longer paid to think for them

I told them that I deliver four counties and have to be back for pickups at the one town by 16:30 or else I have to start all over way out in the middle of nowhere after pickups.
They didn't believe me until that day I held feeders up.
They believe in my solution now.
Amazing.

They somehow have to justify that wasted 2 billion that's why.

Just let your costumers know you will be parked at a certain location. Then just start handing out the packages. Why drive the route if they will come to you? HAHAHAHAHA

I always had about a half a dozen people who met me every morning at my first stop in the small town I delivered. Especially on Avon day and the day the new Beanie Babies were due. It never bothered me for the most part because I usually had to straighten out my load from the 35 mile trip over to the town on a bumpy road. Most days the whole town could have met me and I wouldn't have cared---I would have still got the miles and stops in one way or the other.
Just one more thing that is accelerating the downfall of ups: management who dont give a damm and believe there current job is a just a stepping stone to upper management

Had someone pull that crap on me once. Gave me sob story about it being meds and needing them immediately because he was catching a flight in a few hours. I tore that truck up looking for the package. A good 25 mins digging everything out to get to his stuff. After all that, I find it was a Nordsstoms box. I was fuming. Told the guy I couldn't find and it would be at his door when he got back from his trip.
He was livid and demanded I kept searching. I asked him how big the Nordstrom's box was that I was looking for and he told me it should be the size of a shirt box. (It was of course) Obviously he didn't catch that I knew it was not meds. I laughed at him and said, "didn't know Nordstrom's was in the pharmacy business..." Drove off and RTS as refused later in the day.

More than that?
Might give that a shot sometime. Park it right next to food trucks during the traditional lunch hour. Who could resist food AND getting their toys 5 or 6 hours earlier?!

When I got done with my day, I would always stop at a bait shop and do my paperwork, finish up any lunch time I had left, drink a coke, etc. I delivered to a relatively small town and it wouldn't be unusual to have customers meet me there, or leave word if they weren't home to leave their package at the bait store. If it saved me time and miles, I was all for it. I was even known to help them bag minnows if they got busy. lol.
