[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1405492, member: 14668"] What the company needs to do a better job of during peak is making distinctions between skilled versus unskilled work. You can almost train a monkey to drive around in a rental van and load/unload bulk stops, but it takes skill and experience to bang off 60 stops per hour in the dark with a helper. Instead of focusing on mileage reduction, the company needs to use peak hires to deliver bulk stops and do entire pickup routes, using rental trucks, in order to allow experienced drivers in package cars to stay on trace for as long as possible in residential neighborhoods and rural areas. Nothing is more frustrating as a driver than having your next 80 stops all lined up and ready to bang off, only to be forced to break trace for a pickup route that winds up burying those stops under 300 pieces of pickup volume that bricks your car out.
