[QUOTE="MataLeão, post: 789018, member: 32152"] Thanks so much guys for the timely and complementary responses. DS, Thank you for the "welcome". It is taking me about 4 hours to complete 70 stops in a golf cart that achieves a blasting 15 mph. Put a loaded down 10 foot trailer on the back of that puppy and the engine is lugging a bit. The EDD on my DIAD is quite wrong and I am having to plan ahead 10 stops to make sure I don't backtrack any. Since I am graced with a slow conveyance, efficient planning is paramount. When the drivers I ride with have to backtrack, they make up their time with speed. I don't have that luxury or the nimbleness due to pulling a trailer. All the management has been full of praises. I have been told that this particular hub has a management staff that is very well liked by everyone involved. toonertoo, this is what I was hoping for. The AM shift will really change my schedule around. I was trying to find all the pros I could for making that sacrifice. As far as the AM shift goes, when you start cover-driving (in the future years) I could foresee having a rather strenuous schedule fluctuating back and forth from your AM shift to cover-driving here and there. Whereas the PM shift would already be mirroring normal daytime business hours...to a certain extent. Thanks for your input. hubrat, thank you for the kind words. You are most certainly correct. You can hang on the negatives of any vocation. People tend to do that more-so with jobs that require any physical output. I guess it's a strong reflection of the ever popular sedentary lives being lead today. Burning calories = evil. [/QUOTE]
