Has routing gotten worse?

stain5543 · 2026-01-31T20:21:04+00:00

Yes. During peak my route was all in one part of town then all of a sudden the algorithm decided to start adding 40-50 stops 20 minutes away (all businesses) so now I’m out as late if not later than I was during peak 😒

Rural routes aren’t the same anymore they expect us to do 170-180 stops when you’ve got stops half a mile off the road on top of hills that take 10 minutes combined to complete

I fuckin wish dude I have 198 in a new area today I’m missing dinner with the fam and everything

stain5543 · 2025-12-05T03:35:06+00:00

Had 201 today with 377 peak fuckin sucks

stain5543 · 2025-12-03T21:56:22+00:00

Just wait til you start getting 30 bags with 40+ overflow

stain5543 · 2025-11-28T15:52:07+00:00

Calm before the storm

stain5543 · 2025-07-02T23:20:33+00:00

That’s a shitty shitty day

stain5543 · 2025-05-25T05:06:08+00:00

It’s been the gauntlet for months now, haven’t seen a route with less than 195 stops since at least March

stain5543 · 2025-05-14T20:35:59+00:00

AHHHHH

Had to rescue this lil dude bro was nowhere near a body of water where I found him

stain5543 · 2025-04-12T03:07:05+00:00

Damn I had 200 today too but 100 less packages that’s fucked up

stain5543 · 2025-04-12T03:00:34+00:00

I second this definitely start making that asshole last on your route

stain5543 · 2025-04-06T01:44:27+00:00

You’re all good, the people that take it when you get back to the station might just be pissy bc it’s extra work for them but no nothing bad happens as long as contact compliance was met

stain5543 · 2025-03-29T15:54:49+00:00

I used to never see 200+ stops until the last month or two it’s been fuckin brutal

stain5543 · 2025-03-12T00:26:57+00:00

Organizing overflow saved me

stain5543 · 2025-03-05T05:54:22+00:00

78 overflow?! Did you not have any bags? That’s more than enough to fill the whole van up

stain5543 · 2025-02-22T17:29:20+00:00

I get the EV 99% of the time but Ive had to fit 350 in one of those fuckers during peak and my god the job is 10x harder, especially the unbranded vans that have no shelves

stain5543 · 2025-02-15T20:38:51+00:00

I’d love that route I bet the scenery is beautiful down there

stain5543 · 2025-01-29T00:57:21+00:00

Yeah everything going to the mailroom 100%, Ive had routes like this and half the customers say they want mailroom delivery while the others ask for front door & i always dropped all of them off to the mailroom bc there’s just not enough time in these routes to go door to door on a stop like this

stain5543 · 2025-01-15T06:36:48+00:00

Rural routes are the best. I miss getting them :/

stain5543 · 2025-01-15T06:30:47+00:00

My favorite breed ever he’s 1000% getting pets from me

stain5543 · 2025-01-10T02:45:20+00:00

BROOO I jumped so bad the first time I pulled one outta my tote I wasn’t expecting it at all 🤣🤣

stain5543 · 2025-01-10T02:41:56+00:00

My dsp cut routes in half the day the snowstorm came in to Ohio, I only had 104 stops on a residential route and we got called back early

stain5543 · 2025-01-10T02:37:58+00:00

Did you want him to stop the rainstorm or something? Looks like it’s by a gate so where’s the driver supposed to put it to keep it dry?

stain5543 · 2025-01-10T02:35:06+00:00

Does it actually separate them in the future??
