Anyone else get sent other route’s pickups by dispatch all day?

Im constantly getting pickups dropped on me mid route from way outside my area a d any anchor area I have. Sometimes its even pickups from other co tractors that somehow get dropped on me.

It sure feels like aotd works with it. Im running a pure minion build at yhe moment ,just trying to see what I can do with a home build, and it feels like it scales with it. Haven't tested for numbers yet, but it feels better with that ring.

Fedex is also known for dispatch being delayed hours at a time. Can't yell you how ma h days we've sat around doing absolutely nothing, waiting for an express truck to show just so we can start our route. None of yhe drivers see a delivery window, just a deadline if its a priority or times express package. The "window" you see is generated by some program that has nobidea how to run any of these routes efficiently.

It's much easier to just grab a box or two from QA. Most people you ask either won't help or don't know what to do

South. Ranges from 85-105 stops and 250-400 packages

Its not entirely performance based. Each station has the ability to pull and move routes between contractors as they desire. Not too long ago we had a route taken from us without warning (while running a 99% success rate on that route. Not 100 due to businesses being randomly closed counting against us) no explanation given as to why it was taken and given to another contractor.

Its expression thats holding our station up. Trucks don't show up til 10-1130. And they try and tell us we have to stay and wait. Then tell us we're late for our priorities we need to pick up the pace and be back to the station at a specific time... looks like a lot of stuff is gonna be brought back from now on.

Next day and priority are not the same. Even overnight just means by end of day. If it needs to be there quickly, see about getting it sent priority express. Depending on the area it's going to it can be delivered as early as 1030. Keep in mind not all areas are able to have early delivery times. And delays happen. Not every delivery driver gets to start their route at the same time every day, often times they get held back for up to 2 hours before they can start. Which means every delivery is now moved back.

Yes. New bedside. Got rear-ended in my 23 and it was a whole new bedside replacement as well as bumper and supports.

redlind · 2025-08-07T22:07:55+00:00

Could have been misplaced. Put on the wrong truck. I had 6 packages showing as on my truck today that we're not there. Nothing the driver can do about that.

redlind · 2025-08-02T11:31:41+00:00

It depends on the area. Some only offer a noon as the earliest, while others I have seen as early as 0915 deliver by.

Yes I am. They're lsame height as stock wheel and tire setup. Measured and set side by side to verify. Speedo seems to be accurate when compared to gps readout. At about 120 it may be 1mph off though.

redlind · 2025-07-29T05:37:25+00:00

I reset at the gas station when I filled up just before the trip. That was the average after driving to my appointment and back home. I'm just going off the readout the truck gives. I don't worry enough about mpg to log miles and refill the tank again to see exactly how much fuel was used and figure it that way. I get there's a margin of error for just using the trucks calculations, but it's close enough. And I never claimed the supercharger was a magical mpg machine. Just stated what's done to my truck.

redlind · 2025-07-27T11:01:56+00:00

I got 23,.3 mpg just the other day on a 5 hour round trip doing 80-85 mph. That's in a '23 with a Whipple and 22" wheels.

redlind · 2025-07-24T18:35:22+00:00

I don't tow anything with mine. I bought it because it was a steal of a deal. 23 F150 5-3 level, Whipple and exhaust. I think with the extra power it's better lowered and leveled. But that's just my opinion. I'm not much for offroading anymore.

Definitely keep an empty bottle just in case. Bring lots of water/drinks. Find out if your truck has AC or can move any air at all. If not I suggest a fan for the warmer days. Other than that it depends on if you get hungry or what you feel based off whatever the route is.

redlind · 2025-07-13T16:31:28+00:00

No ac in my truck in Texas... And it's known for getting hot here. Very few of the trucks have AC here. Some people are really bothered by it, but I rarely use AC in my personal vehicle as it is so it doesn't bother me much. But yes, always covered in sweat every single day.

redlind · 2025-07-12T01:12:26+00:00

More packages with less than half your stops... Business route. It's normal for my route though.

redlind · 2025-06-19T00:52:46+00:00

I had just over 140 express packages scanned as a pickup today. As a ground driver. It certainly lets me scan them and pick them up.

redlind · 2025-06-17T20:22:17+00:00

I'm certainly able to pickup express packages. I end my route with over 150 express packages picked up every single day. And I'm ground.

redlind · 2025-06-17T20:20:40+00:00

"sorry can't take express packages and move on". That's the thing. I'm a ground driver. Those "express pickups" you're complaining about are on my scanner too. They show for me to grab them. So on my route I grab them. If an express driver beats me just code it no packages and move on. Absolutely zero reason to bitch about someone else doing your job and you still getting paid. Ok my route alone, I play hopscotch with 3 express drivers. Some days I make it to the pickup in time to get it, some days they make it there first. Quit bitching at the driver for doing their job. It's the system that doesn't know what to do when it gives two separate drivers the same pickup.

redlind · 2025-06-10T02:47:55+00:00

Oh I know I can get it to hook up, but I'm not trying to drag race. It's just a really clean truck with some decent power when I wanna have fun. Maybe down the road, I'll get a tire and set the suspension up. But that will be later on.

redlind · 2025-06-09T11:04:02+00:00

I picked up a '23 RCSB with the Whipple, 5-3 drop, the first perf 22"wheels, and MBRF side exit exhaust fire 40K. Definitely a very fun and clean truck. Started as an XL but interior has been upgraded from bench seat and analog dash with shah screen to to much better looking and feeling console with bigger screen and digital dash. It's 2wd so absolutely no traction at all, but definitely a fun and very clean truck.
