[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 1173767, member: 11246"] My days of running and gunning are over. Haven't ran since peak. I will hustle at times during air's to get grounds off if I can swing it. I said hustle, not a full out sprint. I do not set up the truck, but I peak in when I drop off my lunch pail, take a peak at the load and may ask the loader to leave out stop X until the end of his shift or something of the like. During peak, my 5th, I was running back to the truck, tripped over a septic tank vent, rolled into the street. I felt like an idiot, looked like an idiot and realized that I would not make my 25 years if I continued. Also had a good mentor that I work with, also a poster here, who has helped me to understand that it just isn't worth the running and gunning. Most of the high seniority drivers that were or are runners and gunners have all kinds of injuries. I do not want to become one of them. That said, I still work efficiently and probably work faster then I should. Still can't take my full hour lunch or break and I know I need to start that. We are bonus so if I make an hour ten in bonus it makes up for the hour lunch they take out. Not justifying it, it is what it is. [/QUOTE]
