[QUOTE="sailfish, post: 1336211, member: 53248"] Worst day was my first day on the road entirely by myself. It was over peak so it got dark by 5, and I had a really heavy stop count. But what made it so bad was that I was fresh on the road. I didn't have my efficiency up to par, and I didn't recognize all my stops just by looking at the addresses like I can now. I ended up calling an air recovery in an hour and a half before the air truck left because I really didn't know what I was doing. I missed a bunch of businesses along an entire length of road because it was after 4:30. It was dark and the route was still new to me so I had to creep along with a flashlight and walk off as many stops as I could at a time since I couldn't see the street numbers while driving. Never found any time to take a lunch all day. I was so stressed out and sick I wondered what the hell I ever got myself into and secretly hoped I DQ'ed. I didn't get home until after 9 and couldn't even eat before I threw up all the excess stomach acid. Haven't had a day like that since and it's all good now but talk about one hell of a learning curve. [/QUOTE]
