[QUOTE="Jack4343, post: 349405, member: 7328"] For the past couple of months, I've seen the volume go down in my area. My business stops stayed the same but my residentials dropped dramatically. Neighborhoods that I would usually deliver around 15-20 stops in went down to 10 or less. I left the building one day with only 98 stops on a 65% residential route. (Route didn't plan of course). The route next to me has been worse so they started eliminating it on Mondays and giving it to me and the route next to me. While I didn't make 9.5 those days, I did make 10.5 (barely) so it really wasn't so bad. Last week, I noticed my pickups getting heavier (they blow out my P1000 around 2-3 days a week but not in the past couple of months) and this week the residential deliveries started to upswing. Haven't had a stop count under 130 and 2 days were over 140 including today. I think it's because the stimilus checks are starting to be spent. We'll see if it lasts or if the volume starts to drop down again in a month or so. We are running 4 less routes than this time last year but I don't know if the volume is that light or they are putting the screws to the neighboring drivers of the routes they busted out. [/QUOTE]
