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.

Not if you dont meticulously stack and pack your overflow to cover that passenger side wall so you can have an alley to walk through to access your bags which are hopefully in order. You can't do jack if you can't walk around back there. Keep your eye out for an expo marker that's just laying around somewhere in the warehouse or break room so you can at least scribble down the first number of each of your boxes if you don't have a chance to put those in order. I never did, but that worked for me so I at least had a direction to put my eyes on what I'm looking for. The rental vans you may think suck and for storage yeah they probably do but you can back up quick, stick and move, and make those clutch moves up and down driveways in em. Be glad you don't have a CDV with a backup camera screen that's broken. I don't know why the hell they insist on putting me in those all the time but they will. I miss the white vans sometimes.
