It did. You guys, the guys at work, my supervisors, ya'll said it would happen. That one day it would just "click"... That it would go well and I wouldn't know why, or what I had done differently...
Yesterday was almost 900 cases and 17 stops. And to the beach on Friday before memorial day on a sunny weekend...
And I did it. I couldn't find 4 cases of mayonaise for my first stop. Tried to find it where the scanner said it should be, to no avail. Spent more time than I wanted looking before I gave up. Got in the truck expecting to already be behind. If I hadn't spent the time looking I would have been over 15 minutes ahead of manifest.
By stop 9 I was about half an hour behind. By stop 17 I was an hour, but a lot of that was because of traffic of the weekend idiots on Hwy 101.
Halfway through the day I texted another driver, asked him how is it possible that I was keeping up with manifest. He said it was because I am awesome. lol!
I felt like I was in the twilight zone. I found things, I recognized boxes, I kept the trailer organized. What an accomplished feeling, honestly. My bosses thought I would have to lay over with the route being that size on that weekend. I did go over hours by the time I unloded my trailer, but not by far. Even they said I had done awesome yesterday!
"Click"
Let's hope I hear it again today on an unfamiliar route...
