I hate to keep repeating myself, but you’re clueless. When I first started 30 years ago a big day might be 10 packages. Now, I average close to 100. What do you think is more labor intensive? Letters or mail? It’s not rocket science. New employee turnover is so high I don’t bother to learn names until they last 6 months. Which is a rarity
100 packages a day is a light day for me. I have a walking route, about 90% walking, 425 stops, mostly houses on medium to large lots, 7 1/5 miles of walking at different stops thru town. For over a year and a half our two full time city routes have been splitting the 2 1/2 hr auxiliary route, except Mondays and around Nov 15 thru mid January. My biggest package day was 162, hit my lunch loop at 4 PM that day. When we carry extra we still need to be done at 8 hrs.
