[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 551036, member: 12570"] Wow--I missed all of the excitement by going out to dinner and a movie. Over, I am quite surprised and disappointed by your attitude on this subject. I can imagine the conversation you have with your center manager on this subject: "Over, we need a few sales leads from you." "center manager, sorry, I have enough work as it is" "Oh, OK, never mind then." Dilli, I applaud your enthusiam and would love to have a cover driver such as yourself covering my area. You'd better bring your back brace and have a hearty breakfast as you will have to work if you do.:wink2: As for the cover driver submitting the lead and the bid driver trying to trump him by saying "I have been working that lead..." to the BD people, any BD person worth his salt would see right through that and rightfully give the lead to the cover driver. Finally, someone mentioned the bid driver passing along all of their "shortcuts" to the cover driver. I have 2 cover drivers for my area and I do share [B]most[/B] of these shortcuts with one and share [B]none[/B] of them with the other. The first driver works hard and takes care of the customers while the second chain smokes, is on his cell all day and does the bare minimum. I jokingly tell #1 that I can't give him all of my tricks as he will make me look bad. [/QUOTE]
