Respectfully I have to disagree with you. If you are going to withhold information about your route on purpose just to make your numbers look better when compared to a cover driver, well that's just wrong.
No matter how good EDD trace is the bid driver should be able to smoke a cover driver on the bid route. Right?
As a cover driver do I ever skip a lunch? Well I don't skip them but I might take them pretty late sometimes if I am on a route I am not so familier with. But I am not being "dishonest" by doing so, it's simply that I am going to be running slower than the regular driver becuase I am still learning what door to go to etc etc. It's certianly not becuase I want to show up the bid driver. And please do not start with the "company brown nose" thing. I am not sucking up to management, I am sucking up to customers.
And I don't drive like a bat outa hell no matter what, missed packages be damned!
The more infomation I have to run the route correctly, including correct trace in EDD, will allow me to learn a route quicker and take my lunch at lunchtime!
Why would I want to show up the bid driver? It's not like I can get a raise for doing a better job.
