[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 770781, member: 24302"] Been my experience, and I've been a swing twice and a 4X10 cover twice, as well as have worked in more than twice the number of stations you have, that some stations really "suck", and that's mostly due to local management. For the rest, some routes really "suck" at every station. For the couriers doing those rts their perception of FedEx may be very negative. And mgrs know how bad those rts are. In spite of acknowledgment by everyone else, mgrs will tell you that said rt isn't any worse than any other, get over it. If you are posting good numbers mgr has vested interest in keeping you in the "suck" rt. And will often maneuver to keep you in it, knowing no one else will be willing to do it and it'll have to be posted in JCATS. One thing I've learned transferring around, the route that's open is almost always the worst route in the station. I'd much rather be a 4X10 cover, knowing I'll most likely cover reasonable rts, and in a small station away from a big metro they'll most likely be extended rts. Took a lot of years and a lot of "suck" rts to get to this point, and a lot of dealing with mgrs who could care less about how hard I'm working, only that I'm helping them meet their goals. [/QUOTE]
