Tomorrow I get my first ever check ride (4 yrs.) Was told cannot fudge on DRA routing at all. Apparently these DRA check rides will take place at all DRA locations across the country. Oh Joy!
make sure you take your 13/14 at the priciest restaurant on your route

So this DRA check ride went about as expected. Was 100% WAD. Followed trace stop for stop, did my figure 8's and loop the loops passing stops all along the way thru the entire day. Ended deliveries about 30 mins. later than normal. Got to first pup after 13/14 only to find I had a dead printer battery. I am fairly close to station so off we go to get a fresh one. Lost another 20 minutes on that trip. Normally my 25-30 stop pup rte is a walk in the park. Was not fun getting to my last 2 1700 closers at 1658 passing 2 later stops on my way. My normal rtb is around 1740. Pulled in at 1800 on the dot.
Is the printer battery part of your pretrip? So it it were not for the 20 minutes you spent swapping out the printer battery you would have finished at the same time that you usually do.
