We have 12 seconds to do a delivery.

That's: Stop truck. Open bulkhead door. Find package. Go to door, ring bell, knock, yell "UPS!" Go back to truck. Fasten seatbelt. Start truck and drive to next stop. 12 seconds. If you are not home, we have to fill out the DR notice on top of all that.

You get two hard knocks and a ring before I have that slip filled out because I got to move on to the other 150-200 stops and pickups I have to do.
