[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 320637, member: 12570"] "As far as I'm concerned, it is UPS's responsibility to provide me with a map of whatever area they want me to deliver. We have what is called a "Thomas Guide" map book around here. If I need a map I just borrow one from one of the sups. " That may be all well and good but I know most of the casuals (that is what we call cover drivers in our center) have their own map books and use them to add their own notes or whatever else they would like to make their day on that run that much easier. I think that the $10 or $20 invested pays huge dividends when you are in the middle of nowhere and can't remember where a certain road is or perhaps what street is closest to the 5600 section of Oak St. Relying on your center team to have the proper map and that it is up to date is something that I would rather not bet on. Besides, you can deduct the cost of the map as a non-reimbursed job expense on your taxes. Of course, with PAS/EDD we no longer need maps, right? [/QUOTE]
