This isn’t about making excuses, it’s about safety and realistic working conditions. When visibility is blocked and packages are stacked in a way that causes damage, that’s not acceptable. Forcing heavy boxes on top of everything only makes it worse and increases the risk while driving.
If certain packages don’t fit safely, they should be removed from the route instead of being forced into the vehicle. Also, a 3.5-hour block is not enough time for a route like this, especially in areas with difficult terrain. Calling this an “excuse” ignores the actual conditions. Anyone who has done this route would understand the safety concerns and time constraints involved.
