[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1721028, member: 42691"] Ah yes, the old area knowledge scam. Back in my package car days, when I was a bid cover driver, I was 2ND in seniority, so I always got good routes to pick from. But I came up in the old days, when they taught you how to cover an area by giving you the keys to the package car and saying go. So I knew every route in the center. By this time, though, they had long since stopped just giving a driver the keys saying go. They would ride with the cover drivers to show them the routes. The only problem was, they didn't like to train green cover drivers enough, and many of the drivers below me would cave in tho their pressure to come off a route they picked, to run some ballbuster only they knew how to run. I had about a two week run, where they tried to get me to come off a route I'd picked, by giving me their sob story that the other driver didn't know this or that route, and I did. Now, if it were a circumstance where they made an attempt to train as many of the drivers on as many of the routes as they could, I might have done them a favor, on rare occasions. But they rarely rode with cover drivers to train. We had some epic screaming matches during those two weeks. My point was, always, don't blame me for exercising my rights because you people were too damn lazy to get on some browns and train some of these drivers. It was always, "Yeah, we'll do that next week." They always wanted to make it seem like their laziness was my problem. The fact was, if you gave in to their pressure, you were ALWAYS going to be their errand boy. The only way it would stop, was by MAKING them stop. [/QUOTE]
