[QUOTE="OrioN, post: 4262686, member: 58562"] Yup, star got the gist of it. My old subcontractor gave me that box truck and area that I was servicing for a few years now. The neighboring drivers have similar work ethics and we actually trade boxes if they're closer to it. On the current lineup, my route is now the fourth easiest out of the 12. [USER=43825]@MAKAVELI[/USER] , nope, I'm no where close to the standard UPS package mule that's driving a p1000/ p1200 & being pushed to knock out 30 stops/ hour. I do get my share of oversized / iCs / irregs , but knows when to roll it out the back bumper or to use my 2 wheeler... like this past Saturday's washing machine. & after~70 various routes & a number of subcontractors, this one fits me well. gaining area knowledge and staying in the same boundaries of my route makes this totally stress free! I'm getting done 2+ hours now since I know where to ignore the suggested sequence of my stops and not driving thru the same roads twice. It's not a back breaking area, but it has it's white-knuckle driving in winter months. I'm all set for my own retirement so working here, Amazon, UPS or even FXE is a non-issue until management starts pestering me with little things like "slow down! you're going to hit a deer or wild turkey in BFE!" They knew how fast I was going at the barren farmlands via the new scanners These BCs have to know their drivers and routes and adjust to them, since we're not UPS who can dq a struggling driver that's not taking up to speed with a route in a week (scratch).
