[QUOTE="churn n’ burn, post: 4617261, member: 76143"] For those of you who have pick ups, do you get to them at same time everyday? Are you able to hit them early? On some routes I can hit all pickups early. Others, I get :censored: from maybe 2 of 20 customers for getting there too early. For instance, today I was ahead, I already sat for lunch. I arrived at a pickup at 15:10. Their scheduled time is 15:55, so most days I am there at 15:40 on the dot if not a few mins sooner. Sat on the dock for ten mins until customer tells me I'm early bosses might get mad yada yada... The proper window for a scheduled pickup is to arrive 15 mins before or after the pickup time if I am correct. Is this a contractual rule? I'd rather not have to talk to a SUP. This route has changed a lot in last two years after the previous bid driver retired. There is not enough work (for now) and too much time between pickups. Am I supposed to sit and wait for 30 mins until it is 15 mins before his "pickup window" because he might have one more box? Fine if so but curious to hear what others do. [/QUOTE]
