[QUOTE="DriverNerd, post: 6097969, member: 61439"] I had this same situation about five years ago. I chose to let my route go and become a utility driver. I was 18 years in at the time, so not anywhere near retirement. To me, that extra driving, twice per day, unpaid, for the next 20 years just wasn't something I wanted to do. To me, the extra driving was just not worth it, which, of course, is a personal decision. Plus giving I had quite a bit of seniority meant being a utility driver wasn't as bad because I wasn't stuck doing the crappy routes. I missed my route quite a bit over the years, but eventually I won another route that's much better than the one I gave up...a route that I live on and much easier overall... a route I never would have had the chance to win if I had followed the route. My advice is not to let it go, it's just to weigh the pros and cons. [/QUOTE]
