Tomorrow should be a fun day
5 closings and while people bugging out because of hurricane hitting NJ coast. At least they are all at bank branches.

8 in one day! Good luck to you and get plenty of sleep tonight. Back in the day, having 7 or 8 a day was quite common (2005-2007). However, accepting that many really is asking for trouble. Even if traffic cooperates, one reader or poa signing could throw your whole day into a deadline missing disaster. That self imposed stress is something I don't put on myself anymore.

I would do 8 in a day...maybe more
sitting at a bank branch or title co. and they come to me....
Traveling? No way...physical impossibility in my neck of the woods.

Back in the day, (9 years ago) I could handle that. I would just call and advise the signers that I would be late. You just can't help that sometimes. Most of the packages were overnighted to the borrower. What fun it was to arrive at the borrower's house to a surprise second! In those days I often worked from 8 Am to Midnight!

Add in the fact that the borrower's were unaware of a "second" - those days were CRAZY!

I believe Stevie Wonder wrote a song about those days.
Something about wishing those days would come back again, I love them so.

I don't know about that. In "those days" if you had a pulse, you qualified for a mortgage. Thus the current issues. I believe what we're seeing now, keeping the interest rates low and qualifying the borrowers is what this country needs.

So true - max for me was 8 a few times during the heyday.
Just the scheduling, printing, mapping was a wild ride, let alone the over 400 miles of smiles on the World Famous US Highway 101 of my first 18-hour EOM.
Flying home around 1 AM Southward from my last gig in Tillamook, just cruisin' on that new moonlit pavement, that perfectly executed four-lane up and over the mountainous coastline, and its forests that plunge into the Pacific.
The Moon's eery illumination of the deep black sea with it's silvery wavery crashings;, the The Moody Blues wafting around me; the dotted line slipping past like dots...and then I saw the tell-tale relfection of the oncoming Trooper - the only other soul out on Thanksgiving Eve, zapped my "speed" at 83. And no amount of pitiful clucking (with puppy-eyes) would change that ticket.
A case for cruise control.

The olden days.
I remember when the closing packages were 50 pages. They took 1/2 hour, and for me, 1/2 hour to get to the next job. So I scheduled them ever hour on the hour (at the end of a busy month.) My record was 9. It's good to have a busy EOM for a change.

Very interesting EOM. Full schedule (4 today & 4 tomorrow--
my max). Traffic is unbelievable with evacuations from the NC Outerbanks. Sat in bumper-to-bumper several times today.
I still need to decide if I'm going to leave town, but won't be able to get out until Sat. anyway. Of course, if Friday turns out bad, I'll cancel if I have to. I won't risk my life for this biz.

Good thing I will be done by 6pm all deals a go
The main highway is bumper to bumper north bound with evacuations, went to 4 stores and could not find D size batteries, plenty of french toast mix (milk eggs bread)
Looks like we will catch the edge as of now, yesterday was predicted a direct hit. We shall see mother nature can be tricky.
I am not going to take any last minute deals today and prep the house tonight and tomorrow in case we do get hit.
