[QUOTE="browned out, post: 171146, member: 8105"] Take the rural route. Driving the truck(seat time) is the easiest part of this job. We have one rural rte in our building and that's where the older drivers go to retire. Sure you may have to deal with dogs and bad roads but you will get used to them and your body will get less wear and tear. The route may have a terrible time study as most rural routes do. See how many stops per hour the current driver does. It is staying light out longer so this is an optimum time to learn a new route especially a country route where it is very dark at night. Many rural rtes are around 8-10 stops per hour. Not much pounding on knees or much bulk. Usually diesel cars because of miles. If you are in a part of the country that doesn't receive much snow, it's a no brainer. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
