Are "scratch" drivers looked down upon by other drivers?

[QUOTE="BostonBo, post: 1884726, member: 57823"] Just because a guy scratches a route it doesn't mean he's speeding and/or running. Maybe he's not screwing around. Our legs are meant to run and jump, and I've torn my shoulder up holding on to that damn handrail and pulling in the mirrors at every stop. Where's the spring to show how much negative force we place on our shoulder when we do those out of range motions? And some contracts allow us to NOT take a lunch, so other drivers need to mind their own business. If it gets taken out of your pay, take it. If you go out with 12 hour dispatches every day, take it. If you have straight business deliveries up until pickup time, take it. These are the only real instances I can think of where UPS can take advantage of their drivers and cut important routes. If I get a 10 or 11 hour dispatch I just grind it out so I can get home and feed the kids dinner before bedtime. Why stay out an extra hour on top of that? [/QUOTE]
