[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 413535, member: 13254"] As top senior cover driver I run most of the good routes, and I gotta tell ya there just are no good ones left. With all the time taken away and managements mission to keep everyone out for as long as possible there just isn't a milk run left. IMO. our easiest route is one that pulls a satellite trailer 40 miles to two sat drivers, then continues on to his delivery area with anywhere from 70 to 95 delivery stops with around 200-230 pkgs. 12 pickup stops/25 to 30 pieces+ one other pu that sometimes ships out upwards to 150 packages weighing 40-50 lbs. however in the heaviest part of their season they load the trailer during the day(ie counts those all as one piece picked up). The kicker is that you get to your first delivery stop around 11:15 and you have to be done by 16:45 to make meet points with the sat drivers and be back at the building by 18:45 for outgoing air. If you take an hour meal time as prescribed by contract you have 4 1/2 hours to do all your deliveries and pick ups. Some of the cover drivers ( not me) will only deliver 50-55 of the stops and then dump the rest on one of the sat drivers. The route rarely dispatches but management seems to be ok with it. [/QUOTE]
