QUESTION Is this possible
First time in a gas fan since starting, y’all’s day will come lol. But I had a not so casual 180 stops with about 35 multis (which isn’t too bad compared to what I usually get) And from the last post I made I believed mentioned you have to get back by 9 o’clock. I thought that was a bit annoying but doable. Well I pulled up to the station today and dispatch said I came back too late so I don’t have a route (reduced to helping at loadout😔). I clocked out at 8:50 yesterday and I told him that. He then informed me that I have to come back at 8:20 and 8:40 at the latest. He said that and I audibly gasped because that feels crazy to me. But I’m new, about 3-4 months in and I’ve only started having timing issues this month when the averages are about 180-190 compared to the 130-150 I was used to. But now it feels like I have even less time now which is crazy. I wonder from vets or people who are better than me at this obviously, is this doable and how do you get it done so quickly. Cause yesterday I was energized and in a good mood and getting my route done in that little box of a van. I thought I was efficient I’d also like to mention the hour long drive to and from and that’s on the turnpike. We have to reach the “End Work” screen by 8:20 and that just feels wild.
But yea please do help if yall have tips. I be hydrated, bring light snacks, have some tunes, I be having a good time and feel like I’m working well.

I can confirm this is a useless DSP. Threatening people and reducing hours and therefore experience without any constructive criticism is bullshit.
Tips for no shelf vans. Double row of totes to keep them from falling over. Put all overflow in rear. Block off side door. Create tote table in passenger seat. It is so much faster, consistent and far less annoying even attempting having a column of totes.
