[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 454161, member: 12570"] When I was a casual I covered quite a few routes so when I got my own area they used to ask me on occasion to jump and cover another run. I have to admit that I didn't mind jumping every once in a while as it gave me a break from my route and gave me a chance to go back and visit some customers I hadn't seen in a while; however, I was never forced to jump and, if they had, I would have declined and stayed on my bid route. This is a shortcut used by mgt so they don't have to get off their butt and train someone. I suppose there will be those who will say that I made it easier for them when I did agree to jump, and they would be right, but I jumped because I needed a change of scenery for a day and, if it helped them, well then we all won. NE, you are the one who has to go to work each day in that center so it is up to you as to what you want to do. Jumping would keep them off your back but you bid your route so that you wouldn't have to jump. You have every right to say no and stay on your area but the resulting tension could be cut with a knife. Let us know how this works out. Dave. [/QUOTE]
