[QUOTE="Cementups, post: 3012703, member: 8590"] Not necessarily. I bid a route years ago that only went out with 90-100 stops. Shortly after I was doing about 130. Over the next 7 years I had it I was up to 160+. All of a sudden another driver decided he wanted a change of pace and started a domino effect. He bumped one guy and that guy already had his eyes on my route. So 7 years prior and a lot lighter, no one wanted it. Now with more work and a tighter area (and I had the DOL set up stop for stop essentially), my route became desirable. Our package drivers bid every two years in HARPA. The last bid was this past spring. I knew it was coming again and I was going to lose my route (for more complex reasons). Screw that noise. Off to feeders I went. Sick of that crap. [/QUOTE]
