Buy a Yeti, and take a dump in it! @RonBurgandy?????????? will be so happy!

You can buy them?

Doesn't make it easy. We had a route in my old building that went out with about 50 stops and maybe 100 pieces. That was a bastard of a route come peak. Dark by 430, dogs everywhere, dirt roads. Those 50 stops would be a 10 hour day.

It's tough to compare routes apples to apples. There is always something about a route that make it different from the next. Could be bulk, could be miles, could be a nutso PU trace.

Yeah that's true. Oh dogs are my favorite part of being a helper. HA!

I may be a woman but I'm faaaaaar from being lady like.

You should transfer to Jersey!

Sounds like my route. My SPH are 6-7.

Gross! I was delivering fetal pigs to a high school and one fell out in the parking lot. I threw up on about ten cars.

I'm sorry but that is the funniest thing I've read all day. I just imagine you standing with your arms fully extended with the package in your hands looking away running towards the door.

Looks like a lot of driving through the woods in a large state park.

Google 'Coudersport Pike.' And zoom in.

The park you are referring to is the 6 million acre Adirondack Park.

That was insane. Test tubes of blood going to Providence Hospital just broke open. The driver thought it was hilarious.

Lol You are one tough cookie there Ma!

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Do you like that kind of route or would you prefer a more "busy" route?

There is something to be said for windshield time.

It was a Catholic High School, I felt like I needed confession afterwards!

That Yeti is running around there, dumping all over! Watch where you walk!

I probably would too...

Unless it’s doing 11 MPh in traffic on your way back to the building when it’s 100 degrees out.

Coolers?

I'm not using the right word, am I? Crap...I don't know what they're called.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I can't believe there are drivers at my center who bitch about a route with not even 200 stops, having "too many" stops. Must be nice to have bathrooms around.

Depends on the area.

200 stops would be an extremely heavy day on my route; however, it would be a modestly heavy day on the adjacent route.

Diaper?

Wow! You really went whole hog!

On one of our trips to Disney we took the Beltway around DC. We saw a half dozen or so UPS drivers just sitting there in gridlock. They were not the least bit fazed so it must have been a daily occurrence.

Honestly, the guy loved the route. It sucked because it was a satellite and he had to load his own car, but he never had to come to the center, nobody bothered him. He bid a retirement route basically the day he qualified.
