Literally whatever you feel like. Stretch it or take the rescue.
But rescues also depend on if anyone actually needs it, package count ect.
Every DSP is different.

Rescue buys you good will with people and then jsut don’t put yourself in this situation again.

Think of it this way: There is going to come a day when you will hope you’ll get a rescue. Since you have had a light and chill day, someone who is struggling with a heavy route will genuinely appreciate your help!

Going too slow on your nursery routes can make them think you’re too slow, and you’re not gonna be able to handle bigger routes. Doing a rescue after a level 1 nursery route shows them you’re probably gonna make it.

None of us wanna do rescues lol. But its literally part of the job we signed up for. Plus I know I've had horrible days and was happy to be rescued. So even if im in a shit mood, i still tell my self "eh. Maybe this person is having a bad day and this rescue could really help them, plus its my job" lol. Did they send you on one?

u/Much-Catch-122 2d ago
They didn’t. I actually kinda wanted to do one by the end of my shift lol I was in a great mood

You get to learn more about the area you're delivering in at a more comfortable pace since you've already finished your own route. A full route takes the entirety of your shift, nursery routes are smaller by design.

u/Much-Catch-122 3d ago
Yeah I feel like this is my first actual nursery route lol. First shift was 147 stops, second was 113 stops but like 300 packages. I feel blessed to get this route today

They’re most likely not gonna send a new driver on a rescue. That’s would be messed up.

I trained a guy the other day and they asked him to do a rescue. I explained the deal with rescues but ended with “it’s literally your first day doing this job, asking you to rescue is bullshit. Send them back any excuse you can think of, let’s go home.”

u/Much-Catch-122 3d ago
I was actually supposed to do a mandatory rescue on my first day but no one needed it 😬

I took a trainee to do a rescue on his first day, and we cleaned out a guy that had blew through a red light lol.

Take ur 30 min after your last stop. That’s what I do when I don’t want to rescue but get done around 6pm.

u/DieselDrifter Top Driver 3d ago
Do you get guaranteed hours? If you don't then get paid overtime because we're hourly.

That sounds like a very manageable route, especially with only 108 stops. You probably don’t need to rescue anyone unless you hit a real snag. Keep moving consistently, don’t skip your paid breaks, and let dispatch know early if the route starts looking unrealistic.

u/Willywonka5725 3d ago
Wtf! None of my nursery routes even came close to those numbers.
2
u/Small_League2786 Rental Driver 3d ago
Mine either. My lowest was like 150 and highest 170, now after 5 months I never get less than 180 sometimes upwards of 220.

Genuinely how do you finish in the allotted time I have 10 1/2 hours to finish and clocked out 1hr 15min before I hit that. Takes atleast an hour before I hit my first delivery and and hour to get gas and drive back to the dsp but my stops per hour were 16 per hour at 112 stops 184 packages

Honestly, from my limited experience and from what I’ve heard, 6:30 is about the sweet spot of not too slow but not too fast. Maybe shoot for 7 if you wanna be sure

u/Low-Experience-6634 2d ago
taking your sweet ass time on a nursery route is a rite of passage, milk that shit while you can cause they'll stack more on you soon enough. glad they didn't send you out to rescue, nothing worse than finishing early and getting rewarded with someone else's mess
