As a cover driver you had better not be turning in sales leads until you talk to the bid route driver period
Since one of my many duties exposes me to Sales Leads and awards paid to the drivers, I can tell you that a lead is a lead and payment is made to the service provider that submits the lead that gains new volume for UPS. It works on first come first serve basis. There are no restrictions stating that cover drivers can not submit leads from the regular drivers route. If the regular driver does not submit the lead where there is opportunity, then it's open game for the cover driver or whoever submits the lead.
With that said, in my district if a management employee submitted a lead and any type driver submitted the second lead, I would allow the driver to be awarded over the management employee.
Cover drivers should feel free to submit their leads and regular drivers, supervisors and managers can not do anything about it. End of story!
