I have no respect for a driver that does not want the business to grow.
By submitting that lead the cover driver is one step closer to having his own bid route.
We have drivers laid off. If there is work there to be had please take it.

As a cover driver you had better not be turning in sales leads until you talk to the bid route driver period

I'd love to tell you exactly what you can do with that statement but it would be deleted immediately.
Or else what? Don't be ridiculous.

Be glad I don't run your route.... I would go out on my non driving days and go to EVERY business and turn in sales leads on YOUR route!
Remember when you retire one day, you will be relying on me and others to make sure you still get a check!!!
So be glad that I/we have some initiative!

I welcome it. And then when I get back my customers tell me what occurred and I turn in a sales lead on top of his. either we both get it or I get it. If the sales guy ask me about it, I tell him it is something i have been working on and he jumped me on it. Done deal.

I say this as a cover driver it is the polite thing to do talk to the bid route driver first

Reason being?
Wouldn't it be the polite thing to do to tell me some of your "shortcuts" that you take care of "your" customers with?

I ask the bid route driver how he runs the route and if the p/u times are correct as for sales leads it is still the polite thing to do and ask the bid route driver what he knows about that customer if he is unaware then turn it in be nice we are not suits

What he intends to do is beside the point and frankly I really don't care about that either. But to answer your question, NO I didn't ask him. I was to busy trying to do my job COVERING someone elses rte. And you are right, so far as I can tell, I only see 2 posts. You, however, are the one the said "FORCING" unwanted overtime. No where did I see IMHO, no where did I see a smilie. It was a blunt statement. I chose to take it as an attack on me that I don't have a right to turn in a sales lead because I'm a utility driver. And though I might be patting myself on the back, you would want me as your utility driver because I DO care about my customers as much as you do.
I have never had an issue with you until now. I don't think that you are being fair to those of us that cover your backside. I don't expect an apology, nor do I require one. But know one thing, what you say next will be filed and remembered. IMHO!

Thats fine...But, if I came to you one day and said " SKAG, I would like to turn in 3 sales leads on your route if you don't mind." What would you say?!

ok once again I DO NOT DO NOT HAVE A ROUTE I am a cover driver . But if I did and you came to me about three sales leads and I knew nothing about them go for it but if I had been working on them I would say those are mine I have been working on them
No. Forced overtime is the result of being over dispatched. Don't blame other drivers for something that management can fix with a few keystrokes.
Don't those keystrokes move the forced overtime from one driver to another?
If a pick-up is added to your route, they're just going to tell you to do it.
