[QUOTE="The Milkman, post: 1222412, member: 22760"] Hopefully you wont be overloaded, but little by little your stop counts will increase. Once you settle in don't panic when your blown out. Take one small section at a time. Trying to obsorb every stop will waste time and stress you out. You will gain time daily as you repeat the route. Even into my 18th yr driving I would do the same thing when blown out. Can't let it stress you out. 1 stop ata time. I remember 1 peak I was in a P-500 , rural rte on paper back then. the first few hrs I delivered 50 pkgs and 48 stops..with no bulk stops it took time to geta grip on the load, you get paid by the hr, we all went through it, you will eventually figure out what works best for you. Easier now somewhat as Your stops are loaded into the Diad, try doing your route with a old map of RD #'s and misloads up the kazoo. Us old timers had to figure it out for ourselves, also don't be surprised after you do "your so called rte" that one day they yank you and put you on another rte blind..It Happens, trust me..Took me almost 9 yrs of doing Others routes before I had "MY RTE" Good Luck it can be done, just look around you, they all have been there done that.:peaceful: [/QUOTE]
