25yrvet, I would seriously like to know what you did in your lobbying to eliminate certain cover drivers from being on your route. I have one cover driver who does my route while I am on vaca and he is horrible, the people hate him, he has driver follow-ups all the time, has rude hourly complaints and several accidents(which are all mysteriously covered up), but in his little world everyone loves him and I would like to know what has to be done to keep him from covering my route. He currently has his own bid route but whenever asked by management he freely voluteers to cover my route, management tells me that they don't have much choice because he is the only one who knows my run even though with the new EDD system a trained monkey could do the job.
