[QUOTE="BlackFriday, post: 5059745, member: 94207"] Thanks for the tips. Today was a joke. A new driver came and unloaded. He's bucking for a permanent route but has been a fill in for 18 months. The loader made his load a nightmare. I was missing 6 packages and met up with him to get the ones he had yet I was still missing 3 packages. Also my route was really poorly set up and had me backtracking to the tune of at least 10 miles. Being new I wasn't able to pick out the screwed up delivery order. It was a pretty inefficient day but I did 60 stops in 5.5 hrs. Very few packages need signatures in the area I do so far. Those really slow me down. Sorting by street is the way to go IMO. I, so far, reload one time. All the first load packages are right in my neighborhood. Then I reload and take care of the rear which are generally within 5-6 miles max. I will likely reverse this order once it starts to get dark because the second load consists of a lot of single wide, dirt road, loose dogs and rebel flags. When I say dirt roads I mean either 8" deep sand or gravel/sand roads with potholes a foot deep. Literally tar paper shacks too. [/QUOTE]
