[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 2521310, member: 198"] That is true for that particular driver and only after conditioning those particular dogs to behave that way. When a different driver (including other carriers) shows up and doesn't do exactly what you do the dog(s) get out of their routine. They typically start behaving like beggars and will often circle the truck in desperation. In other words.....behaving like the spoiled little entitlement minded dogs that they have become. I saw this pattern allot when I was still unassigned. And often do now when my bid route is pushed farther out. The customer will always say (after they've had to subdue their dog from running under and around the truck) "My normal driver always gives him/her treats." I then watch them struggle to continue to keep the dog(s) from jumping into the truck or run under it as I'm pulling away. The treats should only be used to tame viscous dogs. Not every barking dog on the route. Now I just do my own test (per se) to determine whether or not they will bite me. I prefer returning the package to the clerk if they fail the test. And I refuse to spend another dime of my own money to feed other people's annoying dogs. [/QUOTE]
