[QUOTE="bigbrownhen, post: 551042, member: 20495"] As a cover driver, it is pretty tough to even have time to get sales leads on a route you don't run everyday. You tend to be runnin your rear off just to get the route done since they usually hammer the cover drivers. I would usually run a lead by the regular driver just to see if they have approached them yet, if not I submit a lead, although there are some drivers I used to cover for who wouldn't care one way or another, so I just submitted the lead. Now that I have a bid route, I have a customer I talked to for about 6 months before he would be a daily pick up. He is the type you don't push too hard or he will get irritated, now that he is a daily, Im working on him shipping big stuff on our freight line instead of Fed Ex freight. I would be ticked if a cover driver jumped in on this lead, but thats just me, others will feel differently Im sure. [/QUOTE]
