[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 743499, member: 18708"] You are 100% right about how something so simple can affect numbers. There is truth to that and I faced that same predicament last year, so I also know firsthand. You already know my story so I am surprised you would post what you did. The cover guy, which I had to "match" to qualify for FT, ran 19 SPORH on a route where he ran his breaks and lunches, called many pickups, basically blew it out. If not calling on phone, there's one stop where the owner left a sign outside his window if to pickup or not, for ex. The reason for this running and gunning was so he could drive the following year as a seasonal cover on this route because he enjoyed it and it was closest to the building. I do not think that something like calling ahead on a pickup or two, in itself, is enough to swing the favor of numbers on a route so badly it could put a driver into the red. Oddly enough, the "Teamsters" do not recognize numbers theorhetically, so your entire point should be moot anyway! :happy-very: Herein lies the problem; what you are saying is the Teamsters DO recognize numbers and therefore THAT gives the company complete leeway to ram it you know where. So that makes me think, is being the lone ranger the way to survive, be happy and get out alive? Because being a Teamster is sure you get you in trouble. PPS there [i]is [/i] a ME a team (sorry cant resist) [/QUOTE]
