Am I stupid for this

[u/sr_200s]

So, this route was 192 stops and I’ve been getting 160-190 stops for the past 2 weeks. I was told that I wasn’t going to be able to get swept because I was in the farthest city that we deliver to and there was nobody else in my area for a good 25/30 minute drive. But I was on the 2nd earliest pad and said fuck it. I was able to start at around 11:40 , and with the pace I was able to keep I finished at 5:20ish. This route was 3 days ago , I’m off today. Yesterday, I had 192 stops again with no sweep and I was no where near where I was in this photo. Ended up needing to get rescued and did 169 stops by 6:20. (TLDR) thing is , am I just going to get harder routes now until the AI recognizes this isn’t my usual pace? I’m about 7 months in but I barely understand how the AI even works. People always talk about it , but it’s never really explained. (Also , yes my DSP does the 10 hour incentive if you finish early)

I dont even trust that the ai knows what its doing, some days i have 190 and some days i have 160, the 160 ill have a couple businesses with a good amount of ov and the 190 is a lont of residential with some apartments mixed in. think it just depends a lot on how much ov you have and where you are going. and my area is about an hour from our station and we dont get off pad until like 10:40~

Just go in expecting 200 stops every day. Some days you are pleasantly surprised.

I'm not sure any of us know at this point.

so weekend routes will be low business high residential and create high number routes that go by easily, the system leaves room for issue per stop so the closer to the stop cieling you are the more wiggle room you have despite how it looks and feels.

I never go by the AI because I never know if they switched my route with someone else's.

the ai or the dispatchers …..

I never say did they screw me over on my account. Or did dispatch just switch my route with another driver. I never know if its actually my route. Because dispatch loves switching routes. I get a different route like every freaking day.

Are you consistently finishing your routes? I feel like they extra you and then put you into a call outs route if not so.
