[QUOTE="whenIgetthere, post: 1187840, member: 32741"] As a swing, you need to be flexible, as your schedule can change in a second. Scheduled to run a day route, someone called out so now you're running that FT day route plus a pick up route 40 miles from the day route. At my last station, all swings were expected to know every route (about 90 delivery and 40 pick ups routes), but at my current station, the managers are a little easier on swings, there are fewer routes here, but each swing has route knowledge of a little more than half the routes. There are a couple who've been swings for many years who know all the routes, but the rest of us are kept as experts on certain areas. All depends on who the manager is making the schedule. It isn't for everyone. Also, swings here are committed to 18 months before bidding on open routes. If you're single and don't have kids is the best lifestyle for a swing. Just don't make any plans Monday thru Friday, 5 am to 9 pm! [/QUOTE]
