[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1188506, member: 14668"] 1. The route and the truck and the packages belong to UPS, not me, so whatever happens while I am on vacation is none of my concern. 2. I leave the truck clean, full of fuel, and fully stocked with dog biscuits and updated gate codes. Other than the biscuits, I would certainly prefer that I get it back the same way, but if the cover driver is a slob then UPS can just go ahead and pay me $45 a hour on OT to clean up the mess myself. 3. I dont care what sort of numbers the cover driver generates, because it isnt a competition and his production has nothing to do with what may or may not be a fair days work for me. If he is stupid enough to skip his lunch and piss my customers off by speeding down gravel roads in order to make bonus thats his problem not mine. And if my management team wants to pay me $45 an hour on OT to sit in the office while they compare his numbers to mine they are more than welcome to. I have nothing to prove and management's opinion of my production is [I]their[/I] problem not mine. 4. If the cover driver does the route correctly and takes good care of the customers, thats just great. If the cover driver is a slob and pisses the customers off, all it means is that they will be more grateful when I return. While my preference would be for the customers to be well taken care of while I am gone, it doesnt really matter that much to me either way. 5. Worrying about what the cover driver does while you are gone is a sign of insecurity and an inability to detach from the job while you are on vacation. I have been at this for 26 years now and the one thing that has always been true is that whenever I return from a vacation, nothing has really changed while I was away. [/QUOTE]
