[QUOTE="wrecker, post: 493902, member: 20784"] As a cover driver in package, I covered about 20 of the 30 routes in my center. Most of the customers knew me by name. A few thought it was my route, since the regular driver took so much time off. Cleanliness - If I covered a sick or option day, I would try to clean house before I left. Vacation weeks, the trash would pile up. Friday was trash day. One week, covering a vacation, I left a "pit stop" bottle on the shelf. Shop pulled the truck for body work (different facility) before the week was over. Week or so later, it was back, and bottle had leaked all over the place. Boy was he [B]mad!![/B]:anxious: Not that I blame him. We're ok now. Vacation cover in feeders - Had difficulty losing the "package mentality". Always seem to do the routes faster then the regular driver. I gained quite a bit of weight, and that slowed me down significantly. Tough place to be. Have to be good enough to stay off management radar, But slow enough to not mess up somebody's job. It would be better if i could just do my thing and be left alone. [/QUOTE]
