Live in a college town. We have routes that have 220 stops that are all apartments complexes. The route is called an AFA. All friend---ing Apartments. The new guys love them.

We called Cover Drivers "Swing Drivers". A full package car is "blown out". A 24 foot box straight truck is a "van". Reload Shift is called Twilight Sort. Add/cuts are "splits". We "Call In" when not coming to work. I have a "gravy" route, also called the slang word for a woman's breast. A "flag pickup" was when someone hung a red flag on the door if they didn't have anything, I haven't seen one of those in a long time.

the easiest part of your route is "gravy" . if someone is sent to help it is expected to give them the Gravy

We call them "junk"

Split routes are "junk" the big box truck is the "moose" and the addition on to our building is the "doghouse" or the loaders call it the "hole"

Does junk get put in the hole?

"Blown out" is one used so much I use it at home.

"The toilet is blown out it's got so much crap in it, get the plunger"

haha yes most of the time, that's where the extra cars are (since they are outside), and they like to add Junk routes at the end of the day.

W/L's (won't locate) was the code I used to write on packages

We had a center manager who called everyone "Meat".

We used to write "UTL" for Unable To Locate if I couldn't find something in the old days. I call the new hires touring the building with HR "Fresh Meat". My Preloader I sometimes call my "Missloader", since I usually get at least two a day from the neighboring route.

I usually called my preloader either Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder or Helen Keller.

Getting a section of work from someone else is called a "split". If they pull extra stuff they weren't suppose to, and you get junk from them, we call those "bones" cause you're getting boned. We bid a "trip", and "run a trip". When we're really heavy we say we're "BALLS DEEP".

we call them "buff's"

a cover driver delivers 6-7 stops and comes back to the "SLIB" route... (sheit left in building)

 

[Packmule]

Not delivering a package ( not sheeting it) and throwing it in a tote of smalls or on the belt is called a "soaker" in my hood.

We call that stuffing. As one driver put it, theses days it's no turkey and no stuffing.
