You have no idea what you are talking about. There was no 9.5 language for decades. Prior to the last contract,(what you want) the 9.5 protection was week. Believe me, I filed many, many greivences.

Be certain read and understand the entire post before offering you insight...
Because others in the loop cannot be violated they create other routes thereby taking too much work off my otherwise plentiful route.

Are you not amused?
They do it all the time, in my building I get calls on Monday morning all the time asking me if I want the day off.
I run about 120 125, but when they send the cover guy out they put 145 150 on him.
I tell him to stop running, but he wants to get home to his wife and kids. I don't blame him for that, but it just leads to him doing that much more work.
Oh, the fun is when I don't answer and I come in and have 150 and they know I am going to take them over 11, they start to scramble to pull stuff. Good times, good times.

Plus what it's get you talking to other union brothers and sisters.
If it doesn't come even if it was never planned. Suddenly you think something was won in the contract because your center manager told you it was coming
I'm certain... a guy in my loop goes to the airport everynight, that's an 8:30 pm commit, or shall I say, deadline

Drones would be more useful shuttling misloads to the right driver. I ran 12 off of one driver today. His preloader was a recent DQed package car driver. Soon to be a DQed preloader.
they got drones for 120 lb furniture??? area was 12 miles away

Use your seniority and bump a guy on to that route.

Putting your 2 weeks in seems like the best option for you. You'll be able to see your family as much as you want while you look for a new job.
Just my take.

Hey, stop copying FedEx ground's / home delivery way of doing the job!
OrioN 2.0 may not work for brownies ops yet because you have air freight to deal with until 10:30, then various pickup deadlines sprinkled about in the pm. I don't follow my trace 100% either because I cater to my business customers first, even though I am mainly home delivery
I have 2 GPS units running, but I don't use it all the time. It's not a distraction unless u stare at it. It helped me greatly with my rural route with no street signs in the darkness of peak season.
Do you stare at the speedometer, voltmeter, oil pressure, fuel, temp gauges while trucking along? Nope, u scan them... keep your eyes moving to avoid a fixed or blank stare
Look it, this driver, for instance... Do u think he stares at all those gauges and meters while driving?
I'm seeing feeders with GPS units running on their dashboard as well. It's a good tool, but nuthin trumps area knowledge.

Also, I was a former cover driver for about 69 routes & this system help me succeed in delivering most of them.
I maxed out/ failed to deliver everything on 3 of the runner gunner routes because I'm not at their level of sacrificing my knees back or shoulders for this.
