[QUOTE="InTheRed, post: 495543, member: 4489"] During my "cover" years, you definitely learn a lot about the other drivers you work with. You learn that some really run and gun, most do a good job, and some are real slouches. I'll always remember this one route I covered. Whenever anyone did it, even first day blind, they always came in 2 hours earlier than the normal guy. What was really frustrating was that the normal guy was always trying to give away stops and get work moved off his route. I had to go help him mid-day once and I waited in a parking lot for him to come out of 1 optometrist's office and it took him 15 minutes to deliver 2 packages. That was a good indication on why he always 'needed' help. Being a cover guy was cool because it always kept it fresh and you never got too bored or too routine with any areas. The downside was that whoever had a "bad day" would always take the day and you'd wind up with the short end of the stick... everyday. [/QUOTE]
