[QUOTE="Star B, post: 5121545, member: 61246"] Some of the hardest working CRRs I saw were the ones out in the sticks. Yes, the body may not take the beating like a city CRR does. The physical exhaustion is exchanged for the mental challenge of having to route yourself (SRA still exists and SSRA sucks ass), having to pay close attention to the streets and other visual cues ("okay, redneck ct will be after this turn, and then after the third barn that will be budweiser ln"), dealing with crappy weather(the prospect of screwing up and getting stuck will be a minimum of an hour wait for the tow truck), and finally, just having to keep your mind engaged on what you have left in the back of your truck, what the next 5 random-length turns are to your next stop. Or, in short.... the only whining I hear about "OH MY GOD I HAVE TO WORK UNTIL 3:30PM?? WHY DOES OUR ENGINEER HAVE IT SET TO THIS TIME OMG I WANT TO BE DONE BY 2!!! *proceeds to drop 1/4th of their route*" are from the urban CRRs. Yes, if you ONLY look at profit per hour, then yes, it sucks that a rural CRR that does 4SPH makes the same as a city CRR that does 15SPH. They both earn it, just in a different way. Oh, wait, I thought it was PEOPLE, SERVICE, and then profit. If anyone thinks that giving Ground the low SPH is going to be the key to moving forward, they are going to be sorely mistaken once Ground finds the next ravine to dump pkgs into. [/QUOTE]
