24 Hour Rush Inspections
Posted on | March 20, 2007 | 4 Comments
Another busy day and a long evening. My day was rather unusual in that we had nine 24 hour rush inspections come in on the fax during the night and our schedule was already full and planned out for pretty much the rest of the week.
Since these inspections were due within 24 hours, I decided to make up a route with just the nine inspections and I left before sunup in order to be at the first inspection at first light. I was back home by 8am, had breakfast and took off for my original planned route of the day, twenty six ocupancy inspections and two interior inspections.
I found it hard to believe but I was back at 1:00pm which was much too early to quit for the day so I picked up the route Vickie had prepared for me to run tomorrow and left to see how many I could finish before dark. Again, I was shocked because I finished the route of thirty-three and was home by 5:00.
Luckily all the routes were in densely populated zip codes so it is always relatively easy to finish a good number of inspections. (9•12) + (2•10) + (26•6.50) + (33•6.50)
I am still having problems with the javascript menu in the manual’s new version. I finally ordered Adobe Acrobat and will be converting the manual to pdf as soon as possible.
I had one telephone interview today and will have that to post in a few days over at TheRepReportâ„¢ so you can be looking for that.
Thanks for all the calls today. See ya’ll tomorrow.

Hi Terry,
I was wonding what kind of car you drive. I see your inspection rate is usually around 6.50 to 7.50 and I was wondering about that because of the price of gas. My rate is a little higher than yours but I don’t have near the volume. I am considering having to buy a small car to get the fuel mileage I need.
Thanks….I really enjoy reading the blog.
Later,

I drive a Toyota Camry. It’s a love/hate relationship. It’s roomy, easy on gas, comfortable and more.
It’s also low to the ground. I will not pull into a driveway at all; I always back in to prevent the airdam under the front from tearing up (again). The exhaust pipe under the car protrudes lower than any other part of the car – it gets hit a lot too.
I’m looking for alternatives.

I am considering a Geo or Chevy Tracker. They have a little 4-cylinder engine and should get good gas mileage but higher off the ground than a car.
