[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 865012, member: 18225"] Um, getting back on topic, everyone should drive cover for at least a year. Every route is so different...I'm on my third year as cover, and I might bid an actual route this time around (versus my current cover bid), or I might not. But you learn a lot being a cover driver - and if I'm on a route I don't like so much, or a route I do, I know I'll be on a different route soon. After three years of cover, I can learn a route (80%) in three days. If I get sent out on the blind, no problem, one stop at a time. Screw GPS, I bought a map book and removed the pages of every town my center delivers to. I 'laminated' them with clear packing tape and have them all folded up in my work bag. I carry the map book as well, so when my center trades me to the other center in my building, I can make it happen. Fourth thing every driver should do, be a cover driver for a year. [/QUOTE]
