You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
I got trained on most of the stuff I went out on when I first started 10 years ago. Now no one wants to leave the office so everyone goes out blind.

Or start out not running-gunning; filing 9.5s; then taking a rural route where you move less than 130 pcs between del and p/u combined.
It is all up the the individual driver how much abuse his body takes. Use the methods, dont rush and file.

Thanks for all the responses, they were much appreciated.. I just wanted a little clarity for future situations i was a FT cover and knew some crappy routes so i bidded a route just to have some consistency. So when they cut my route and try to put me on a crap shoot i would rather take a lay off day vs doing someone else's route that shows up but wants to go home bc they are a little heavier than normal..also i agree w/ the logic of taking some layoffs while making 19/hr to save my body a little.. Sometimes it gets discouraging knowing you got TCDs making way more than you while you are both doing the same exact job but it was the price i had to pay for seniority. Either way i appreciate everyones response, Thanks BC fam!

More hours worked at less rate of pay equals more money than you were making if you are just dumb and choose to go home!!

Based on current technology advances and Amazon's growing fleet of drivers. I don't think UPS will have a need for "SKILLED"(drop off package at a porch) union workers in 10 years.
Make all the money u can now, and move on to a new career if opportunity arises.
Thanks,

In my center the stewards agree to a system based on seniority. Basically you let them now an hour before start time if you want a vlo.

Us full time drivers must have superior language to what you have.

You seriously have no comprehension of this business or industry.
What? Did you run out of overpriced manuals to sell? Might want to hurry and sell those now because in a few years, people will probably be able to get them from a digital pdf file.

Bid route or not if you're "extra" and a more senior driver wants to go home you're butt is in the seat. Our old center manager used to make you show up if you wanted the day off hit had zero option threes left.
New center manager lets people call from home and has had some grievances filed on him.
Used to be "here's a map book call me at 1300 and tell me how you're doing"
Now it's "I don't care if you have 10 years on him, you can't bump him he doesn't know that route. He'll be over allowed!"
I just laugh and bump away

Truth be told, I'd rather see you leave before him.
