What do you do after lunch?
(I am serious. Those numbers wouldn’t even be an 8 hour dispatch in my bldg.)
It’s about a 6 hour plan. But IDGF. I work with forward progress and fulfill my customers needs. Time allowance are of zero concern of mine. I’ve been on performance rides before BUT, my methods are impeccable. It’s a city route.
They shouldn't be dispatching in a way that creates that type of safety hazard. ECD.
You have no idea what kind of roads he is driving on. Maybe he is on all rough dirt roads or in a city center where the speed limit is 10MPH or less. Maybe the delivery points in all of these are not easily accessed (IE third floor back office with no elevator). Every delivery area is different.
I’m on a resi route. Normally I have about 35 biz which gets cut off at Christmas. But still confused why you all complaining about 100 or so stops when I was sent out with over 350, than had to go help someone which took me to 410. All I got was a stupid 
ing volleyball cause I was switching centers.

Do you get paid extra for all that?I’m on a resi route. Normally I have about 35 biz which gets cut off at Christmas. But still confused why you all complaining about 100 or so stops when I was sent out with over 350, than had to go help someone which took me to 410. All I got was a stupid

Impossible. Superman isn't going to do 410 stops. Maybe if you have a helper refilling a cart and your route consists only of a condo building.

When you’ve done this job for more than a minute maybe then you can call somebody out
For now just sit on the sidelines and be quiet

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
I did a route that had 55-60 stops, a dozen p/us. I delivered around 300 pcs and picked up on average 100. Lot of glass time. Easy peasy. 8.5-9hr dispatch. Every route has differences.

As a 22.4 there is no average. 
Went out with 239 today (450 pieces,) plus 16 pick-ups. Covering another two-truck route. Checked the computer in the AM, saw it had me arriving at my last stop at 10:56pm. That's when I dug in for the 14hr day. Picked up my second truck at about 2pm (I think it had ~165 stops on it,) took an hour lunch, then delivered for two hours before my pick-ups started. Brought back close to 600 pieces (thanks Target!), then went back out delivering. There was apparently a last minute panic and they sent 3 PVDs to help finish when they realized I was going to have a lot of missed pieces.
Same route yesterday had 30 less stops and I clocked out around 18:45. It's strange the difference 30 stops can make.

No I won't.
You tell me. How do you do 410 stops a day?let's say it's possible ok? What will happen to this miracle driver when stop dip?
I've spoken to many drivers about stop average and literally EVERY one of them say they shoot for 20 an hour and two said that this is what ups expects for the average route. I've barely topped 30 an hour and that was on a bang bang route with 60 stops in a tight 400 house neighborhood.

Excuse my ignorance but I was under the impression that there cannot be any missed pieces?As a 22.4 there is no average.

Do you despise those 3 PVDs?
How many stops did they rob you of?
Can 22.4 drivers run out of hours the way RPCDs can? My center cap is 60 hours for RPCD.

So there shouldn't be missed pieces but it can definitely happen. Prime example: An over-dispatched driver works about 13 hours (including an hour lunch) and they bring the package car back with whatever deliveries are left remaining.
Hell no, love 'em for the lookout. What I dislike is how they hire these people as temporary/seasonal workers and come to rely on those extra hands come crunch time. What the company should do is hire enough permanent employees throughout the year to be able to handle peak without the use of seasonals. I don't blame the seasonals for wanting to work, I point my finger at the company and then try to make lemonade with all these damn lemons they keep throwing at me.
A shelf apiece. It's hard to say because the stops didn't automatically drop from my board once they took them-- they disappeared in waves.
60 hours in a week, 14 hours (including a 1hr lunch) in a day. We have to follow all of the same DOT rules as RPCDs, but those are the two big ones.
So 410 stops in 13 hours averages out to about 31 stops/hour. That's not the toughest pace to maintain if you're in the right area and your truck is perfectly sorted.
As far as I know, the highest SPORH I've ever had was 43 stops/hr on my favorite route, but I only maintained that for an hour. It really does all depend on the area and the driver's area knowledge. And you know what I got for it? When I returned to building, my on-road said "Hey man, just so you know, you were doing 43 stops an hour at one point" and gave me a huge smile and the thumbs up. The next day I showed up to an even heavier work assignment.

It can be done let’s just leave it at that

Yes, I know I'm working late.
I have 55-65 stops with 7 pickups and 220- 230 miles. Lots of 1 lane dirt roads and an hour away from the center. Most of the young bucks hate it because the navigation has them going down roads that haven't existed in 20 years and I refuse to update their maps. Ups wanted this system so they can fix it.
