[QUOTE="OrioN, post: 4550468, member: 58562"] I agree with Robert, it's not the same in even different terminals in my state... The terminal that I used to work at has a good chunk of farmland in my state. The rural route I had takes about 200+ miles, no matter if my stops are 90 or 150... it's a 12 hour day. I left that terminal in January of this year and soon afterward, my old teammates have moved on to better options since the BC wasn't maintaining that level of positivity I built to make it tolerable working there. My old customers weren't happy seeing new faces every few weeks now and quite a few still have my cellphone #. I was offered to go back with a raise to cover the route again, but I'm happy living closer to the newer FXG terminal, doing less work for better pay. (Equivalent to a UPS 22.4 worker) Sundays are easiest; I pull out the residential stuff from 2 ground routes & combine them into 1... priority for perishables, chewy (yucky), meds, FXE freight, then random ireg to fill to capacity as needed.
