[QUOTE="Northbaypkg, post: 2105886, member: 58387"] So it's the Bay Area getting all the hours from what it looks like. I'm also in the Bay Area (hence the handle) and what you described sounds just like my center. I am routinely asked to help folks on Thursday and Friday who are running short on hours for the week. And there's the lower seniority guys who routinely have to finish routes that the 9.5ers don't finish. Despite all that, I still think I have it easier than most out here. The only element I have to deal with is rain and that's nothing. We don't have any crazy traffic, any super busy city, and my area is as flat as a pancake. Its a trip to see how different this job is from region to region. I always wondered how much more stressful or hard this job is for people who live in, say, Wisconsin who have to deal with snow and freezing temps all day. Or folks in Manhattan, NY who have to deal with the crappiest traffic, crowds of pedestrians, and worst parking conditions ever. This forum gives me a peek into that and it makes me even more thankful for my situation. Even with these expensive ass prices out here lol. [/QUOTE]
