gridloreAs I've mentioned in the past, my route is known as "Livermore Valley." That's a pretty specific geographic area, containing the cities of Dublin, Pleasanton, and of course, Livermore. My route has grown over time to include large swaths of Contra Costa and San Joaquin counties as well as bits of Solano, Stanislaus and Sacramento counties.. The driving times alone were killing me.
Now the rumor is starting Monday the routes will be reorganized and I'll no longer be going any farther east than Livermore. I suspect this means that I'll be still doing the 680 corridor up into Walnut Creek and environs. It's also rumored that on Monday the Benicia warehouse will stop making deliveries, so I might get tagged with deliveries as far north as Napa. Which would be fine with me, since it would make my route much easier. This might be the new limits of my route, roughly.
I'd also be taking over all of Fremont from the East Bay route. This makes sense, as the split has caused no end of confusion in loading almost every day. As it stands, the vague "is it closer to 880 or 680?" decides who gets what. The other day they put half of an order on my truck and half on Victor's truck. Not sure what will happen with Milpitas. I'd love to lose that.
We'll see. I'm really hoping we have a meeting tomorrow to define and explain these changes. While I'll miss the overtime money, I'm very pleased at the possibility of cutting my routes back to something manageable. The funny thing is I had a meeting with the owner earlier this week, and this possibility was one of the things discussed.
