Went out yesterday with 140 stops on a route that most the veteran drivers agree 95 is heavy on. Did 95 the day before fine. So 140 stops all county roads and fm stuff in a rental. They told me to run it however I wanted but I decided I'd just follow the board so they at least couldn't say to me about that. It had me going back and forth 6-10 miles at a time, delivered to the same street I'd been on hours before. At one point it took me 20 minutes away. I'm thinking alright I'm going to the last chunk of . Nope took me through the city I was in, through the next, into another. Then after those stops 20 minutes back to where I had come from. At this point I'm 60 miles from the building and just under 1/4 of a tank. $100 out of my own pocket the past week alone on gas and have heard some pretty bad stories from other drivers about troubles getting reimbursed. We had a very nice speech about family and helping and how routes on the loop I was on were the heaviest. Didn't hear all day but I have routinely been pulling 30-50 stops off of people out in the country. Fuel light finally came out so I said it and headed back with 40 stops. Got back with the needle under E and went home. I figure if they give me I'll just deliver until I run it dry next time...
I'm still fairly new and really don't want to make waves. I've just been yes sir whatever you say need me to come back in 4 hours after you sent me home no problem. Need me to go out in the dark in a rental in the country? Sure. Also kind of tired of feeling like I'm getting jerked around.
