[QUOTE="slingshot90, post: 5123138, member: 83796"] I'm in my second year as a cover driver, I actually really like being a cover. I know about 8 routes really well, and about 6 others I don't mind being on. In the most country of routes I've done, it goes out with about 130 stops, 145 miles, 180 pieces, 1 pickup, easy day. The route I qualified on was a ball buster, usually around 150-180 stops, 350-400 pieces, 12-15 pickups, 55 miles and then the worst part was the four different apartment sections it had. One of them, you needed to get a key from the main office first and take all packages to the actual front door of any of the 10 buildings of the complex. One had a mailroom thankfully to receive everything. Another was about 22 buildings that took up about 8 blocks- you had to go through the 10-25 pieces you had for that whole complex, sort them out by building letter and number, order them up and write them down on a sheet of paper to know how to run them all off efficiently. Then the last one a bit smaller of a complex, but it was a huge pain because you needed to unhook your truck fab with a key attached to it to open all the doors. My least favorite, but it only ever had maybe 6-10 stops within that one. All in all, if I had a total of 45 individual apartment stops in that area, it would take about an hour and some change to get off. Which wasn't THAT bad, but seeing as three of them were all in my board as ONE stop was always annoying. It felt like I barely moved through the board. [/QUOTE]
