Started at 915, left building at 940. 130 stops, straight air and priority deliveries til 1045, started my route. Got a flat at 1230, tire truck at 100, tire truck left at 130. Punched out at 2000. Had drivers with ETAs of 11:30.
We dont have enough trucks, drivers, helpers, or uniforms for the helpers.
I gave them a hint. This yr Christmas will fall on December 25th. And if past is any predictor, it might next yr also. Put it in the suggestion box that next yr it would be nice to plan ahead. Right after the turkey day thing, we will get heavy.
Boss met me at 500 to pick up my air. With another driver. They still had 40 left in anice town, I had 50. They didnt take any work, coz they didnt know where they were going, and I do. I said yes but there are two of you, and one of me, and you are in a elite neighborhood, and Im not. Its ok boys, Ill handle it.

08:30 start, done at 21:20. 220 stops, (150 sig req'd) 30 pickups, 85 packages plus 7 bags for the post office. Last year at this time I was dropping 30 there. Lunch and break once I got back to the center. Another guy had 170 for the post office not counting bags. Surepost is getting out of hand.

Had almost 500 on delivery (178 Sure Last with 20 bags to boot), about 120 del stops, over 200 p/up pcs. Clocked off around 2015. Took my lunch btwn the 3rd & 6th hr like the contract says. They come and get the rest of the missed pcs. Their man made emergency is NOT my emergency.

20:50.

137 stops 140+ miles. Gave up about 50 resi stops at 18:30.

Delivered 214 pkgs + bags to the post office, which I left at 11:00 having finished only that stop and 1 nda. Spent much of the next hour searching for packages since the rest of my load had been crammed into the first half of the car to make room for the post office.

For some reason I picture in my mind, a room full of helpers (caddies), picking straws to see who has to help (caddy for) Upstate (Judge Smails).

Only 13 1/2 hours last night, down from 14 the night before. Peak must be ending.

So will he straighten everything out for tonight? I'm surprised that chat only took an hour.
I was out all last night (for a change), so I have no idea how our yard was.
