[QUOTE="HyperBrn, post: 5530557, member: 102381"] I made a choice. And I don't regret it. I might hate my life some days (especially next peak). But I will live with the consequences of my choice. That is, until I have the opportunity to make another choice. At the time, I had the choice of bidding an open route that has elements I don't like (and some that i do) or remaining a cover driver. If I remained a cover driver, I'd be left with the likelihood that I'd be burning 20% of my income on gas until summer (when vacations get heavy) or until enough lower seniority drivers finish their progression and they take my place covering those routes. The open route had a limited window for me to sign up for it. So I decided to accept the devil I knew (the bid route) instead of the devil I didn't know (waiting for lower seniority cover drivers to supplant me at covering the routes my center can't find a driver to bid at the satellite center). If you disagree or dislike me for that choice, I'll lose no sleep over it. [/QUOTE]
