[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 1711857, member: 18225"] I've been cover for eight years - it suits me and there's never been a route up for bid that I wanted. I'm covering a route today which I know fairly well. I haven't done it in a while, so there's a lot of new business, etc. When I hand the DIAD for a sig, a lot of these people look at me like they've never seen a UPS driver before in their life, let alone a DIAD. ??? [B]OK cover drivers, what are some of your funny/horrible/insane stories about being cover? [/B] Two years into my career at UPS I got sent out on the blind in a town I knew well, but didn't know the route - lots of business (one place gets 200+ NDA every day, all letters). NO ONE told me that one of the deals with this route was that I had to meet an air driver at xxx place and give him a tote-full of NDA's. 10:25 and my phone starts blowing up: "WHERE THE friend ARE U"...etc. Many late air that day...
