The routes that these bars are on cover several towns and the drivers do not go back through these areas during the day.

Any place like that should have an alternate drop off point. We've got whole tourist towns where in the spring 3/4 of the stores aren't open yet but they are receiving their summer merchandise. Most of that stuff gets delivered to the business owners homes. Its no big deal--its not even address corrected.

I just got back from camping out for 8 nights with lows in the 30's - 40's.
Thank Gawd I keep a -40° sleeping bag in the camper ... it was still too warm to zip up at 34°, except the footsie section.

I`m glad I got to 30 years, I don`t think newer drivers will make it to 30 years. I`ve been on 9five list except for 3 months this year, should make 100K

How is that automation will take care of the surge plan working out?
