[QUOTE="vociferous121, post: 5450818, member: 102375"] I talked with the RPCDs that deliver our routes and they don't really like to be out until dark. They want their 8 hours, that's about it. They will even take very large packages to help us out so we can delivery more packages to more stops. It seems, as long as everyone gets their hours then things are at a stalemate per say. The amount of deliveries during peak is outrageous. On another note, yes PVDs take it slow. Start your first couple days off fast if you want so you know your limits but make sure you get your 8 hours. I'll only get 40-60 stops but drive 120+ miles a day. If you have a day with very few stops then take your time. If you have a day with 100 stops and everyone else is 100+ deep too then it might be wise to pick up the pace. Not only can you help out others that may have many more stops that day but I want to stress not driving in the dark. Once that sun goes down things get slow and dangerous. If you do not have extremely bright lights you will not see I the woods. Pulling up into a wooded area in a car after dark in middle of the night after passing half a dozen no trespassing signs, will shoot on sight signs... getting into your car to rummage around... you get the idea. Be smart about it. You'll figure it out if you are a PVD reading this. Same goes for residential areas. There's a lot of robberies around Christmas and you are a random unmarked vehicle acting suspicious driving up and down the road.... Get your hours in. Talk to the other drivers and make sure they aren't getting screwed on hours. You as a PVD can act stupid and make your deliveries slow if your drivers need more work and you don't have much that day. [/QUOTE]
