[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1287265, member: 198"] There could very easily be two separate threads where bid drivers bitch about unassigned drivers and vice versa. As an unassigned driver my biggest beef with the bid drivers is how [U]some[/U] of them do things they know they aren't supposed to (for example entering a customer's house for whatever reason) but because customers "are used to them" the unassigned drivers are viewed as the lazy incompetent back up driver when we don't mirror the bid driver's behavior. Another beef is having to cover for those bid drivers that have been on the same route for a decade or more and have been speeding, running, skipping lunch, NI apartments instead of taking them to the office, signing for customers, etc., the entire time they've been on the route. Those routes have lost more and more time allowances over the decade or so the bid driver has been on them so when drivers that follow the methods fill in we end up with an over dispatched route (in reality) but are expected to bust them out like the bid driver does. It would be funny listening to these guys whine about their routes getting more and more work added if I wasn't one of the poor bastards that has to cover for them when they are out. On the other hand I absolutely love filling in for bid drivers that have been on a route for a long time and have been following the methods the whole time. Easy money. [/QUOTE]
