[QUOTE="TooTechie, post: 2076212, member: 28388"] I have commercial highrises 28+ floors on my route in a major city. The air is done by air drivers, but I get the air for one of them and the misc air for the other businesses on my route. Then a different air driver does my resi NDAs and my business savers in the area I don't get to until the afternoon. I spend the first half of the day in the highrise area, then the second half doing ghetto res and ghetto corner stores, etc. Its really nice being in climate control and out of the rain half the day and nice getting paid to wait for elevators and traffic. The tradeoffs are having to handtruck stuff instead of just leaving it on someone's dock and your truck's heat never really warming up until afternoon. The other nice thing is in the summer the truck doesn't bake all day. It's in a garage or underground until 1pm, then 2 to 3 I park it under trees in the shade with the doors open for lunch. It heats up a little from 3 to 4:30 then cools down again while parked inside for pickups, then the heat of the sun is gone. The funny thing is there is one building on my route where it gets the following: 1) air driver for NDAs 2) me for regular deliveries 3) neighboring route's driver for pickups 4) a different air driver for a 7:30pm air run of a few businesses and a letterbox ...so one building gets 4 different UPS drivers each day. That's a heck of a lot different than a little town I used to do where I did everything without any other guy coming into the town. [/QUOTE]
