Peak during the summer.

[Harey73]

Do you think it would be better if peak was during the summer as opposed to the winter? Obviously it would be nice to have it light out until 9 pm instead of 4:30. I imagine it would be brutal in areas that get oppressive heat all summer long. Would you rather try to do 300 stops when its hot or when it is snowing and dark early?

Cold is better. Too many people going down in the heat.

Would be nice to have longer daylight but I prefer cooler temps. Most drivers know which areas that are easier/safer to deliver after dark.

At least change the start time to 8am!.

Starting the "route" at 10:30 after NDAs is a bummer


Peak should be in September. That way my helper doesn't puss out after 2 hours of crappy weather

Christmas isn't in summer so what's it matter? Besides I'd tell them kiss my ass and get Either a fan or A/C if I had to stand in the center for that long midsummer.

Peak in the winter is perfect for me. Another 2 -3 weeks. I will no longer need to get off the truck till the end of January. Except for lunch. Nice and relaxing.

If customers weren't procrastinators then peak would be NEVER.

You haven't noticed the dispatches are all peak year round??

Some places do have a peak in the summer, I live north of Boston, but have taking a vacation or 2 to Cape Cod in the summer those guys get hammered. I am sure most coastal vacation areas are the same.

My eyes do not like delivering in the dark, cuts down my productivity by a good 70%, its just not safe

Old fart.
Just kidding.
My eyes aren't what they used to be either.

I've had my route for over 20 years and when it gets dark I feel like a rookie going out blind.

When it get's cold and dark, the cargo light stays on and the key says in the bulkhead. Can't be fumbling for three minutes per stop trying to get a key where I can't even see with fingers that only half work.
