[QUOTE="themidnightoil, post: 871563, member: 28049"] we bid every 2 years here. I was on the same bid route for 10 years. not a great route but knew everything about it. was a runner for the first 7-8 years but was tired of getting more and more stops added to me and having 11 hour planned days all the time so I started taking lunch and work safer and making a ton of overtime. so instead of running 21-23 sporh, was down to 17-18. center manager ask me what wrong with my numbers. he want me to run 21 sph again. my reply was I am not running all day and skipping my lunch anymore for you. I will only skip my lunch for me when I want to get done early. so on the next bid that route became and unassigned route. the center manager told me it's my turn to bid and since the old route I was on is not a bid route any more, what are you going to do now with a cocky voice. I told him I will take this route. why do you want that route asked the center manager. my reply was " I live on that route. now I can have lunch at home every day"... the look on his face looked like I kneed him in the grion. 2 year later my that route was unassigned. I am now on an extended "oldman's" route that has been mine for the last 8 years. when I first bid this route, I made sure I told some onroads that if this route was changes from a bid route to unassigned I was going to file an harassment grievance. had no more problems and that center manager took the buyout a few years ago. it's funny because now sometimes I am done at 5 and other days with the same stops I am not done until 8. now it's "why are your miles so off from one day to the next"? 100 on fast days and 130 to 150 on others. they did a production ride the other day and found out. my reply to their question was that if my day was light and I skipped my lunch and busted the stops off and do not have long runners or break trace on those days, yes I can get done early and with low miles. if I have days like I had when you did your ride and I have tons of bulk and having to break trace to get extended airs done and get back to trace and have lots of long runners and run misloads, my miles will jack-up like that day to 142. was told by my onroad that I did a great job and ran scratch in his eyes that day with what I had. wonder if my route will still be up for bid the next time around?
