[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 1066526, member: 18225"] Going fairly well here in MA, weather is a non-issue (so far) which has helped bunches. The volume has been heavy, but not unmanageable so far (drivers still going home, etc.). They tell us next week is when the hammer drops, we'll see. I've had six helpers so far, even though I've been on the same route for weeks (all resi, no air, 280-320 stops, tight area, paper-route). Three of the helpers were ace, two were mad-sleepy, and one was a no-show, so I take it back, I've only had five helpers. I got to drive one of my center's new Freightliner 800 automatics today...so fresh, and so clean, only 900 miles on the thing. Not a scratch on the pig yet, that will change. It was like the Clarksville trucks you see in the training videos, super-shiny, totally awesome. Except, unlike the video (where there's nothing on the floor and the shelves are loaded stop-for-stop, like the grocery aisle), this pig was bricked. My helper today was only semi-sleepy and we rocked it. Just like last year, I'm going to get all my overtime in January... [/QUOTE]
