    Well, if you start/stop at the same location for the last 5 days, you can always use the 16 hour day once a week....

    Yea thats how it is at bakemark. If we're close enough to Lancaster NY the manager will come get us. I'm one of five drivers. We're a small operation.

    16-18 stops and 700-800 cases is my normal Monday with the new bid, but most of the stops are within 2 miles of each other so it only takes 9.5 hours.

    We use it all the time in my region. The ELD even pops up with a prompt at 30 min left to ask if you want to declare a 16-hour "big day."
     
    Buffalonytrucker92 and Cardfan89 Thank this.

    My bid route today went out with 1028 cases. They put 2 guys on it. However I bet if it was me they would have let me fly solo.
     
    Buffalonytrucker92 Thanks this.

    Well thanks for that I’m glad you feel that way. The two gentlemen running “my” route were fairly confident in there abilities.
    What I love is how the guys who get doubled up all run around going that routes easy, well every route is a lot easier when there’s another set of hands there. It makes a huge difference.
    Of course it’s a huge crash to reality when they single those people.
     
    Buffalonytrucker92 Thanks this.

    Agreed, cause the other person could be digging I mean searching for the product and stacking while the other runs. That's why when I was getting trained I told the guy just to stand there and let me do it all. Cause like you said that initial shock to you system when you gotta do it all yourself.
     
    Mike2633 Thanks this.
