[QUOTE="Mike23, post: 548136"] Alright, I did a bit of cover driving for about 6 months. I enjoyed some of it and hated some it. I noticed who had the better routes and who didn't. My HR department calls me a...hmm...money prostitute to put it nicely. I like earning money and will try anything to get money. I was recently covering a guys route who had been doing it for about 15 years and scrounged up a few sales leads on his route. I mentioned them to him and he told me, 'There's a lot of drivers who would punch you out for doing that. Please don't do it on my route, I already have enough work on my truck and don't need another pickup.' He also told me he never turns in a sales lead because UPS makes more money on it then it's worth to him so why bother? On another route I got a very good sales lead, already up to about $100 in one month. I was told the regular driver on this route was FURIOUS with the marketing team because he felt it was 'his' because it was on his route although he had no claim to it. My question is this. Is it considered bad manners to get sales leads from other drivers routes? I for one don't think it is because otherwise these people would have already had those sales leads. I feel you shouldn't get 100% comfortable on your route otherwise you miss the oppertunity and someone like me would come along and snatch it up :D :devil3: [/QUOTE]
