They "asked" me many times... I got sick of it after a few months this summer so I began to say "no" when they "asked". They do have the right to "ask" not "force" (in my region anyways).Our new center manager has stated several times during PCMs that we can be "asked" to cover routes other than our own as the situation dictates. He has forced several lower seniority bid drivers to jump but has yet to try this with any of the older guys.

I finally got my own route after 8.5 years of cover, but i come in and find that I'm covering a route due to lack of training by the supervisors. DO THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE ME COVER A ROUTE IF I HAVE MY OWN ROUTE? THANKS

He is a stand-up guy.Our new center manager has stated several times during PCMs that we can be "asked" to cover routes other than our own as the situation dictates. He has forced several lower seniority bid drivers to jump but has yet to try this with any of the older guys.
It would depend how high. Lol?I would be curious to see what would happen if he decided to "force" a senior driver to jump.
Cover stresses me out too much, its just the not knowing where you go everyday that bothers me. And it seems like all they do is have cover the routes and let the casuals get the tit routes. I am bored as a regular route driver but its nice to know every in and out on your own route.Why would anyone want to do the same route day after day after day after day after day after day?
Some routes have a steady steam of bonus. An hour or more a day can add up. I wish mine had that kind of allowance but it makes up for that in how nice the customers make it.Why would anyone want to do the same route day after day after day after day after day after day?

Freudian slip?If They force us of our routes more than 5 times in one tear,we get 2 hour penalty pay.
Freudian slip?
Because my bid route is 99.5% residential with no pickups. I work at my own pace, have friends all over the route, I know which dogs are friendly and which ones to leave alone, and which houses have swimming pools in the back yards (wink, wink).Why would anyone want to do the same route day after day after day after day after day after day?
Only RGs and newer cover guys say that. Having a regular route is just comfortable and easier to make plans around. On my route I know most days I will be done between 6 and 6:30 so it's much easier to make plans and have a life outside of UPS. Being a cover driver then you never know when you are getting done or where you are going. And building customer rapport is a big plus too.
