Still lost on what your question is lol. If you're asking if we have customer counter. Yes.

I was just wondering what building in 542 you are stationed at.

Ok... I told you I do 28 miles correct? Do you know a route thats all resi that does 200 stops and only 28 miles? I walk apartments complexes all day. Literally all day.

Also tell me Mr. Scientist how steps mean nothing. I park my truck 11 times through out the day. I guess in Wisconsin they also don't have Mall routes?

It's very easy to get that many miles walking.

Get one of those measuring wheels and drag that around to get actual miles. A Fitbit registers a step when you fart.

Yeah this idea that drivers are walking 13-20 miles a day is ridiculous. 3-4 miles maybe.

Like people in an office setting that walk 8 miles going to the crapper and the coffee machine.

Actually my steps were counted by my center manager because IE used Google earth and GPS between the truck and DIAD. IE thought I only walked maybe 30 ft to each stop. I was over 4 hours in the hole because of it. I don't own a fitbit.

I'll be happy to send you pictures of the hall ways of the 3k plus unit 5 floor apt complexes I walk every day for 9.5 hours.

I don't need to see pictures to know that you aren't walking 100 miles a week on your route.

 

[542thruNthru]

It's that hard to believe hu? Well I guess if you have nothing like it in your area I can see why. I used to believe people didn't drive 300+ miles on a route too.

Dude, you're not walking 20 miles a day, not even close. Use an app to map out a 20 mile course near your house and give it a shot some Saturday when you're feeling good. I bet you don't make it 5 miles before you call your wife to come pick you up.

Youre just jealous. Come out for a day on route with me

I asked for them to put little odometers on my carts

I'm not saying he does or does not walk that much. But 20 miles over 8 hours is a pretty slow walk.

You really think he walks for 8 hours on his route?

 

[HubSnakeWrangler]

Welcome back and thank you for your service!

I'm an inside combo at the Ont ground hub. I don't look at the driver bid list regularly but the wait is usually 2-3 years shorter than combo jobs. I think the most recent combo bids stopped at 2012 -13 hire dates. Theyve recently opened a couple new buildings in the area which shortened the wait drastically. Lots of drivers went into feeders as well.

The local brought in a new BA specifically for the morning and afternoon sorts. I can message you his info if youd like.

The expansion and automation of the hub is basically complete. No sort aisle anymore. Bulk/irreg has its own belt system too. There are no bulk carts or sorters. Only belt splitters and tenders.
We're working peak hours right now. They've started the 'know anyone that needs a job...' text blast as well. Seeing new hires every day.

 

[542thruNthru]

You really think he walks for 8 hours on his route?

No, not in a 9.5 hour day. My route is 12 miles from the building. Thats about a 15-20min drive each way. Plus loading hand cart time and breaks. So definitely not. In a 10.5 hour day. Yeah I'd say 8 hours of walking.

 

[Poop Head]

You seem upset about this..

 

[Jones]

You seem upset about this..

I think it's kinda funny tbh

 

[DriverNerd]

Yes, I do. Even 6 hours of walking at a medium pace will get you 20 miles.
