They think it helps get them done earlier

I’m dumping my leftover stops and driving back regardless. The poor runner hates me when the weather changes. It stinks but it’s reality

Lmao

Had a young driver today (has seniority over me, of course) tell me his "power zone for mattresses is on his shoulder"
I explained to that using the cart in most instances is best, etc. He says "it takes too long"
Wtf

It's insane they have this loophole to abuse.

I agree. I have a hard time believing that the spirit of the language was to knowingly have a staffing issue and ignore it and just let the drivers violate 9.5 and pay the grievances indefinitely. But here we are.

Shoulder is a bad idea, although I would question how drivers are supposed to get those mattresses up three flights of stairs to floor 3 apartments? Really not possible to use a cart.

No, but like I said most instances.

maybe that would help lol, certainly quadruple didn’t!

Back when they used to do physical time studies, they used to hate me because the handcart came out at almost every stop!

Point being he has this mindset that there is some time limit to his day, and would risk a serious neck/back/hip/death injury to carry a mattress on his shoulder.

I can promise you if he’s carrying things on his shoulder he will have a shoulder injury at some point.

It takes time to get away from that type of mindset.

Sucks when the new guys have it figured out before some of the older guys!

What is that swill?

Top route in our center drives 2.5 hours to a town, unloads a satellite route & does most of the town then drives home. Bout 10 years ago it had 50-60 stops. Guy retires, next guy got it up to 90. He retires & the present driver does around 120. They build the routes based off of how fast X driver will go.
