[QUOTE="chris9834, post: 1883574, member: 52131"] Where I have a problem with it is you are effecting your fellow brothers work day.. 1st I dont think its right when your on a vets route as a swing driver and you do their route that they get back at 19:30 hrs every night and your coming back in to the bldg laughing to everyone about what a bada** you are bc u smoked the route and got done at 1800 hrs, now the vet comes back from vacation and has 20 plus added stops and they have hell trying to get their routes fixed back where it was. 2nd reason is when you are the swing driver that has to cover a runners route your day is absolute hell because you get the runner dispatch and u spend the day stressing and having to send msgs for business help and having to meet to get air or volume pulled from you, then your looked at by management as a lazy driver all because you wont dump apartments and run all day long and skip your lunch like the runner driver will. To me if your sole concern is getting off after 8 hrs then get a job that only works you 8 hrs, or just get on the 9.5 list. I dont think its right to be stressed out all day on a runners route. Or get your route fixed because a runner was trying to be a Billy bada** all because someone wants to get off early everyday. I knew when i signed the bid that it was going to be long days and i excepted that. If i decide down the road that i want to get off after 8 hrs i will just quit and find a job that only works 8 hrs or get on the 9.5 list or hopefully luck up and get a combo job. What really upsets me is mgmt knows what these drivers do but they just turn their heads all because it makes their numbers look good and with that bonus because their doing more with less, but ask a runner that has had a injury how friendly mgmt is to them after their injury. I dont give a rats a** if someone wants to screw their body up running have fun but when it screws up your fellow brothers day u bet ur a** have a issue with it.
