We have one cat that gets rescued 3x a week if not all 4… blows my mind as a newer driver (going on my 5th week) that that’s allowed… I know my dispatch is annoyed with it just from their tone when sending a rescue. I’ve only been rescued once and it was because the guy finished all his stops in 3 hours so I gave him a bag and some overflow. I had 24 bags that day so it wasn’t much of a rescue lol.

To your point, no it’s not hard to finish routes. Only way I go over 9 hours is if I take my time and admittedly take more breaks than the standard 2 15s and a 30 for lunch. If it’s a constant issue sending a rescue for the same person there is an underlying issue and or he knows he will get that treatment so he doesn’t work as hard knowing he’ll get saved
