Yep, the guys we put a stop to where the guys who for some reason hate their lives so much they came in two hours before start time to load their own trucks every day. Absolutely ridiculous.

i agree with you there, but what do you propose to do to change those problems?
Also I think it’s funny how trump and his supporters were bragging everyday about the stock market and 401ks, but now that he’s gone it doesn’t matter

Why are you talking about Trump or Biden? Who cares they’re both part of the same bigger problem. Neither one of them could’ve stopped this completely and neither one of them will fix it.

Ok, agree with you there
Although I think we could go back to 1950s level, where corporations had double the tax, unions were all time high, workers could support a family on one income, and CEOs made 10x the lowest paid workers wage compared to now at over 300x

And stop the military industrial complex! Wars cause crazy inflation and debt! This is not rocket science!

Now now. What we need now is another 2 trillion added to the deficit for corporations tax breaks.

Your route sounds alot like mine, average about 32 miles a day.To be fair, I went on a crusade about my load quality and the preload efforts.
October-November I was in my on-road's ear, in my center manager's ear every single day about how horrendous the loads were.
Got to the point they asked me why I was so angry. I answered because I don't think I should have to come in early and sort before start time just to have a reasonable day. They responded, "No, you shouldn't," and then the next day I thought the situation was worked out and showed up to work to find out I was going out with two trucks and over 500 pieces.
Just a pile ofin both trucks, man. I call 'em Stevie-Wonder-and-a-shovel loads.
The things I do are in an effort to increase my longevity. If anybody can talk some sense into me about how having easier days makes it more or less likely for me to make pension injury- and incident-free, I'm more than willing to listen.
I'm not in a panic to get home. I'm worried about how I'll react to those incredibly stressful days where every turn you make is accompanied by the sound of an avalanche of cardboard behind your bulkhead.
And the best part? Truly, the best part is that there was a point where I was wittled down to about 150 stops, 250pcs. I thought that was because I was winning the long game and they were adjusting my route, but really? They were taking a few stops from several of my neighborhoods and giving them to our budding SSDs/PVDs to get them used to the job. So yeah, I thought I was killing it and manipulating the route into better numbers, but really it was just a seasonal situation. Lost the seasonals and I'm right back up to 200+ stops, >300pcs on the daily.
I'm the closest loop to the building, "normal, good dispatch" is 180 stops with around 375 pieces.
Peak I was about 250, 500 everyday, couple days were 300/600+. Obviously had a helper.
Heavy bulk downtown area with residentials after.
What I've found, and it works for me, drive around and unload my bulk. Don't even worry about the apartment above the bulk stop. Clear your back door, clear your floor...then, start staging out your truck. Throw boxes from your 4k shelf on the floor, same with 2k, work thru those areas, sort as you go.
Seems like youve been doing this route long enough you can clean things up every 10 to 20 stops and find a good rhythm there.
If you're following the methods and working safe, shed the stress. You'll get done. The mountain slowly wears away, and you have working space.
Dont let your head get in the way, it can be easy to become overwhelmed if you let it.
It’s Janet. Mrs Jackson if you’re nasty. Best line from that album. Can’t believe I still remember that song after all these years.

He seems like he knows his sheet, we all coped with our routes differently, and I can tell he’s no rookie. But you don’t work off the clock, period.

At no point were your posts constructive and only felt accusatory and provocative. I'm not sure if that was your intention, but you've succeeded, brother. Whole-heartedly I feel provoked and on the defensive.
I don't like you, dude.
