The bottom 10 percent don't get to bid.You either get assigned to cover a crumy route or you swing drive for many crummy routes.....The best perk about my present route is I live on area.So, in the hot summers I can go home ,shower and change...I can hold off lunch til the wife has dinner cooked at 5-6,then go in..There are many advantages,but I make sure I don't take one minute over the lunch period because you never know who is watching..You have that on all routes....The best thing about most routes are the PEOPLE....They can make your day and you can make theres..They get mad at UPS mgt. just like you...
