[QUOTE="Dump and Dash, post: 658514, member: 9309"] As a retired driver having worked 26 years all in packages, I can tell you newer rookies that peak at UPS is much easier now than in the old days. Not just with the new technology, but the shear amount of work we did back then. My personal best was 439 stops delivered by myself. Brickloaded in a P600 But that does not compare to the 589 stops and 693 packages in a full P1000 with over 100 miles driven by Bruce Krohn in Tempe, AZ in 1984. 85% were Driver Release, but the rest were "X" shipper numbers like 971X43 where the shippers name had to be written above the number on the old paper delivery records. That is 43.9 stops per hour with just 3 send agains! A driver-helper team in Jackson, MS delivered 920 packages to 707 stops! These stories are out of my Nov. '85 Big Idea company magazine. I have kept these magazines as it is fun to look back and see how things have evolved at UPS. I'm sure our West Coast drivers will remember shipper number 902594 (release 495) for the many Sears packages we delivered. [/QUOTE]
