[QUOTE="PPH_over_9000, post: 4686889, member: 79761"] A little bit, yeah.... especially when you get one of the rentals with a sticky door, and end up having to hang from the strap and use your body weight to pull it down. I just use that as ammunition when a supe' asks me what the hell I was doing all day. I also invested in a Garmin GPS for my chase days so, granted, I've made the rentals a little bit more bearable for myself. Lately I've been running irregs and stragglers left in the building and then chasing the rest of the day, maybe a few pick-ups or UPS stores at the end of the day. Did 44 stops today, 337 miles. Just got home a few minutes ago, lol. It's a nice change of pace to go from rapid fire deliveries to ~15-25mi between stops. Every day's a road trip. It also helps that I found this sweet little app called Zeo Route Planner. You just input your start and finish location, add all your stops and hit "Optimize" and that :censored: plans a route [B]so much better[/B] than Orion ever has for me. It's been a lifesaver these past few weeks. [/QUOTE]
