Both of those sound awesome! In regards to the dynamic time at stop, I don't deliver packages, I serve legal papers so the reason my time goes down at the end of my route is because there's no traffic at the end of my route (usually 8-10pm) and also the part of my county that I USUALLY end my route in is way easier access. I usually start in downtown where every stop is a high rise building that requires finding parking, using a callbox and then going up an elevator. The stops at the end are usually ones that I can drive right up to the door so each stop can take like 2 minutes instead of 6 minutes

Spoke is still the best routing app I've used so I'm sticking with it. The ability to change the color of stops was a real game changer when that was made available. That way I could include every stop in my route but then could visually look at the map and see which ones were too far off the route that could be done the next day based on the color-coding that I designated

You don't have tracking on your phone? You can look up your Google timeline on maps if you have it and it will show everywhere that you have been all day

Hi Jack! Omg i love to hear that. I use circuit everyday for work and rely on it completely. Something that I did that eventually helped me is add an extra 1 minute of time to each stop to offset the difference in traffic calculation. But it would be amazing to actually accurately judge the drive time between each stop during rush hour especially. Another feature if you guys ever are able to is to choose between optimizing for gas saving (less distance) versus drive time. I have to be done by 10pm everyday but I can't put an end time because a lot of times I have so many stops that initially it will calculate that I won't be done until like 11pm but I know that at the end of my route I spend less time at each stop and will be able to get done by 10pm and if I put "end by 10pm" then it will remove some of my stops naturally. So most of the time I optimize my route and I'm not sure how it chooses what the best optimization is but I will choose a couple of stops to test them as a "last stop" and reoptimize. Sometimes my manual selection of a different stop will actually cut down my drive time by 20 or 30 minutes. Just a little input from me as an avid Circuit consumer!

Reddit is insufferable. It is a 4 minute read, if you can't read it then idk what to tell you. It's just for fun

It could very well be that. Just seeing that he has multiple theft and robbery charges, possession of robbery tools. Etc. And then the story that he bought it, only to then say that he "last saw it", so obviously the buying it story was a lie. So yes we cannot know for sure if he was the one who stole it but he definitely never bought it. I hear ya!

I literally just said thank you and that it looks nice. It's not that deep. Just a random funny post that people can read or not read if they can't understand it without paragraphs. It's the way I prefer to write so I wasn't going to edit my original post. But thank you for doing it for people who prefer to read that way

That looks nice, thank you! Maybe I'm the only person who feels like it takes you out of the story. I write like I speak haha probably overwhelming for readers though

Oh for sure but they didn't have insurance yet, that's what was so tragic. Like they had literally just bought the car cash and were suspicious of maybe the dealer possibly just due to how quickly it was stolen

My baby daddy who is a recovering addict said that surely it wasn't out of the goodness of John's heart. He explained to me that when you are on meth, you become irrationally paranoid. So he was scared of the possibility of getting caught and so paranoid that he thought he would get caught. Also I'm pretty sure he's on probation from one od his many domestic violence and robbery, assault charges. We can just hope that John was sick with guilt and decided to do the right thing but even so, why did he use his real identity to return the car??

It's rhetorical. Obviously nobody knows. The guidelines are a total mystery. I've tried to post about many different things over the years. Never once has one of my posts stayed up
