[Big Arrow Down...D]

Yep. If someone with more seniority wants your route

Wow...couldn't imagine anyone else taking care of my ugly baby...

Yep. If someone with more seniority wants your route

That's gotta cause some animosity between the drivers...

You don't bid on it silly....

 

[Operational needs]

I should correct mine to say, my route is mine for life unless I'm sick or injured 90 days or longer. Then I might lose my route.

Sometimes it does.I've told my Sup many times don't screw up my route. Or I will be the guy below me and cause a chain reaction.

I'm talking about the low seniority guys.

 

[Big Arrow Down...D]

I'm talking about the low seniority guys.

If a route goes up for a bid and no one takes it, the bottom guy is required to do it who gives a crap about him anyway...

He doesn't want to be stuck on it a decade later.

Even crap routes aren't that bad if it means doing the same thing every day. Everyone else hated to run my route but I knew all the shortcuts and could run it with my eyes closed. It is a lot easier when you are going to the same stops and can just sleepwalk through a route.

You can always bid on routes when they open up and bid sheets are posted.

So you could be stuck on a crap route for awhile?

Yep. I've had routes that people hated because my truck would be blown out every day. All they saw was the bulk. They didn't realize that I was delivering to loading docks and after 10:30, it was gravy.

We bid ours every year.

We bid for life but the guys route got eliminated.
