[QUOTE="scratch, post: 170212, member: 1674"] upslady20, I am 48 too, and I have done all three types you mentioned the last 23 years. I started out with a warehouse route, delivered 400 and picked up 600 a day. Then I went to a route that had a Walmart and then DRed all day. I have been on my present area about ten years now, 120 stops, 95% Dr, and 90 miles. It got a little sweeter last year when I bid on an EAM Bid, so they had to pull two hours off my regular route because I hit 9.5 at 5 PM. I can have any route I want when I bid tomorrow, but I will stay where I am at. There are good and bad things about any route, you just have to decide what you want to do. Our bodies do certainly wear out over the years, it is up to you to look out for yourself. It doesn't take but a few weeks to learn a new area, I am amazed at the high seniority drivers that stay on some back breaking route just because they are afraid of change. Good Luck on your decision.:shifty: [/QUOTE]
