15 routes... we have a driver sort and load as do all of the Extended Centers in Alaska of which we are the biggest. To be honest, not sure if it is due to size of the Center, that we are an Extended Center, the timing of the Operations, the HR difficulty of employing that many PTers in our labor market, or some combination. Easy money with little responsibility. Dealing with coworkers make it amongst the least preferred of the driver duties for some drivers in the Center.
Yes, I tell myself to "Take 'er back to the barn" sometimes when I finish my last delivery. I think Upstate just wanted an excuse to use "hence" but maybe he really did find it that objectionable.
