[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 312112, member: 13254"] Been a while since you were a swing/cover driver ,huh? How soon they forget. I can only speak for myself, but there are many things that happen when a S/C D runs your route. One being they just may not be as familiar with your route as you are. Another is that regardless of who you are, all drivers will approach the same route in different ways, maybe nothing major but different still. I sometimes run as much as a whole hour behind on the pickups simply because it takes me longer to run a route than the everyday driver. I feel, as long as I am not missing any P/U stops it will all work out just fine. I do sometimes call a P/U stop to check if they have anything going out (special interest in Air), that way I can sometimes get more stops delivered and catch the P/U in a better flow for me. Let me ask you this. Why is it so important to you that the cover driver do a P/U the same time you would? Under certain circumstances, what does it hurt to call an account to see if they have air going? [/QUOTE]
