[QUOTE="sortaisle, post: 1135234, member: 17605"] Oh I'm not trying to be the man. Yesterday I was sick as hell...couldn't keep water down and it was in the upper 80's. It got to the point to where I wasn't sweating much anymore. By about 12 though, I finally got some water and peanut butter crackers to stay down. I didn't want to call in sick in my 30 days, especially on the last day of the Mothers Day fiasco. One of the sups who does dispatch came to personally apologize to me for the dispatch on Thursday. That day was BS man. On a normal day, it's 95 stops, 300 pieces delivered, 200 picked up, 45 miles. I had 135 stops, 400 pieces delivered, 300 picked up, and 70 miles. Oh I have 33 pickups too that start at 2:30. My resis are 15 minutes away from the pickups so there's half an hour of just driving...easiest 12 bucks of the day. Either way, the guy said he'd never dispatch a normal driver that way and he felt horrible the way it turned out. That's fine though. The way I see it, if I can survive a training week during Mothers Day week and record heat, I think I'll be ok. Next week is back to normal...volume wise and weather wise. I'm probably the only person that looks forward to 60 degree weather. [/QUOTE]
