The worst part about this route is that it has 3 AP locations. So any savers that may originally be for a resi are now 3pm commit, I generally have to break off to get them off in time.
I appreciate all the advice! Please keep it coming, the good vibes will only strengthen my resolve.

That is not a bad thing. Use every tool in the bag.
Proper and thorough pre-trip, call for union assistance on over 70s, save some time to go to a clean restroom, every time the supervisor says something you should treat as an in-cab distraction.

Get signatures for every stop you can, and since it's a hood route you'll probably be doing that anyway..but just in case. :>

Be very careful if you choose to follow this advice, especially if you are attempting to get a signature at what is clearly a very safe residential DR stop, as it could be considered stealing time.

Do you have a favorite song ?
It wouldn't hurt to sing it all day long.
That wasn't clear.
Sorry if I confused you.

Stay calm all day long, clear up until you punch. Don't let them rush you on any process, in or out of the bldg.
Answer all customer questions personally, don't hand them off to the sup and go sort while he runs interference for you. He is not your helper.
He will undoubtedly do some kind of work, no matter how small. Opening or closing a door you both go through. Picking up a small pkg that falls off your cart. Or carrying one pkg that wouldn't fit on your full cart or carry stack.
Make a particular note of time, location, and wheel performed. This will nullify any production sporh for that day, if it's every called into question in the future.
I always let them trip themselves up. It's nearly impossible for them to abstain for any whole day.

And the reason you can't.... Is you are the one, carrying the pkgs.
Stepping on the back of your heels (to increase your walk pace) is assault.
Once they realize, you are behind....
The methods are your friend.

It's called pushing. A very common practice on an OJS ride.And the reason you can't.... Is you are the one, carrying the pkgs.

So much I could say on this one.

Have you had your S&V ride, or any other rides, for the year? If so then you should file to block the 3day ride. It works sometimes and starts a good paper trail (whether it works out not) for later.

Please explain why access point areas have a 3:00 resi comit.

I assume that all packages that are being redirected to an AP are address corrected to that address, thus changing the commit to 3 pm for NDA SVR.
Oh Shoot
Middle fingers up
I would assume its a left at commercial stop thus making it late if delivered after 3???
Here it 13:00. That's the suggested time.
No real time commitment .

You have an option to del. the next day.
Only if you didn't deliver to the access point yet,or the access point isn't on your route.
Not for next days. They still have a 10:30 commit.
