Hey I said I don't know, I just posted what I think is the situation here. But tell me something. After the bids have closed and routes awarded in seniority order, how could it be fair for say a number 5 driver decide he made a mistake in choosing his route and turn around a bump driver number 6? Same with cover driving, I bid cover because I knew I would be #2 on the list. If a higher senior driver just ups and decides he screwed up on bidding his route how should it be fair for him to bump me from my bid spot. I do know that drivers that choose not to follow their work in a "change of Operations" can't dovetail into the cover list, they go to the bottom until the next scheduled bid or when an area opens up.
I do know that in the southern conference a driver that has won the bid on a route can not bid on another route for six months.
