[QUOTE="Rick Ross, post: 2457328, member: 51847"] My point was kind of the opposite. I was saying that in my experience once a cover driver know's what they are doing they work the snot out of them. If they know a route is being covered the stop count seems to increase 50 stops over what the bid driver is usually dispatched with. Part of that was to give the cover driver hours, part of it was to beat the rented mule. The last time I covered routes was for a full-time driver who was clueless... The worst part was that he was a really good driver. His logic was to skip breaks and lunch and try to be off by 6 every evening. He could never figure out why his stop count was up 50 over the day he bid the route. From what I hear that route is back to normal but his new route is now screwed up. At some point you would think he could figure this out. I don't know if it's possible to bargain but our next contract I think all DIADS need to be shut off during break. That is the only way to keep routes fair IMO. That keeps old and new alike from screwing up a route and keeps the dispatch realistic. [/QUOTE]
