I started on the preload also. 50 lb weight limit. Hardly no irregs. Very few bulk stops. I could walk through the trucks all night and made $.50/hr less then top driver rate after 90 days. Every route had it's own boundaries with very few splits to a different ZIP let alone another town. After a few weeks you knew the route stop for stop by just looking at the address or business name.
I truly respect you for starting on preload. I think everyone should.
When I started the biggest package car we had were a few 800's. The vast majority were old 600's with 500's on rural routes. You could walk through most of them.
I’ve made the comments before that I don’t care about miss loads because 95% of the time I don’t, but today I take an eight hour day simply because I don’t want to deliver the miss loads that I’ve had almost a half dozen of every every day as I have something to do on Friday and it would keep me out well over an hour longer, if not longer. You shouldn’t have to take an eight hour day to avoid miss Load, but here we are.

Did you drive? Throughout the day, I probably receive 20 phone calls and 50 messages on my cell phone every single day…if not more.
I never engaged in a conversation on my phone while on the clock, I’ll call you later.
I answered every call and every text and left the building at 10 AM and still got done. Beat Their stupid numbers. But it was a
show today..

them half the phone calls were from management. They don’t even know how to do their own job.
28 years. The first 10 years had to find a pay phone if I wanted to make a call. Very rarely used my cell phone for anything work related. They can communicate through the diad.
