Just to give you an example Mack,
When I did P&D, My day started at 7am.. My manifest usually had between 6-10 drops, Then I made 3-5 pickups...I try Never to bring anything back,But you know how that goes......
And I usually got in 10-12 hours per day(overtime after 8 of course), BUT, I only drove maybe 60-70 total miles in my cover area.
500$ ticket, it is NOT reasonable

My first two stops were residentials today. Those often go faster then the businesses if they're easy to get to. Both of these were, and one was only getting three boxes totalling about a hundred pounds. That one was in and out.
Two more were craft breweries. They were the two biggest shipments on the truck, but being smaller breweries they're not busy places, so both of those were fairly easy, despite one being a liftgate unload of three skids of malt.
Two more were electric motor dealers. One was a fastener supply store. Another was a paint store. One car dealer. I HATE going to car dealers BTW.
Once you learn who your regulars are, how they operate, and the best ways of getting around town, and provided you're willing to work, you'd be surprised how much you can get done.
Washington DC on the other hand is a horse of a dramatically different color. For our DC guys to have days like you had in Chicago is fairly typical.Dan.S and stayinback Thank this. -
NOW I understand.

Thankfully I don't have to deal with the likes of Chicago traffic, about 250 of those miles is stem travel down and back. Mostly open highway through chicken country in the middle of nowhere.Dan.S Thanks this. -

I did 22 stops and averaged about 10 hours here is Socal. Montebello to Woodland Hills. The whole day cost me about 120 miles out and back. My start time was 2am.

Scottied67, that was the biggest waste of two minutes I’ve experienced since I quit trucking. Come ON....had he dived in at the last second, Ok. But THIS...what a nitpicking pile of ########.
AModelCat, MACK E-6, bottomdumpin and 5 others Thank this. -
Just shows the hurry up ignorance of the yellow truck. I am sure he had somewhere super important to be.
scottied67 Thanks this. -
And on a thread that is nearly 2 years since it began and was last responded to?
Someone must indeed be bored.
