No. If you run the same route every day in a week or are forced off a route by management that keeps you from running the same route every day then you can file. Otherwise....you need the four years.
LOL Didn't you know that FT package car drivers don't work 9-5.....

We have some that work 9 to 5. Also some that are back by 4:30 every afternoon.
In my area FT cover driver don't bid routes they are assigned routes based on knowledge and need daily... Some weeks you run the same route everyday other weeks you do a different route each day...

Ah, maybe its a local thing? We have bid sheets up every week, except for peak season. The bid sheet goes up monday and down thursday morning.
My situation is I'm a ft cover driver with almost 3 years ft seniority. I did the same route all week and m t w I worked over 9 5 and I told my manager Thursday I want to opt in.
The contract language says im eligible if I do the same route all week or if I have more than 4 years seniority. It's the "or" in the language that confuses me

The language seems fairly straight forward to me.

Our center works this way too. It seems to make the whole cover driver 9.5 thing impossible. I am ten senior cover in our center and I have run same route for a whole week exactly once this year.
Is anyone in your center tested this language yet?

You are scheduled to cover a route for a week, yes? If not, you would have to call in 1hour before your start time to see if you are working. Therefore you are covered under the 9.5 language regardless of your time in. Technically speaking the route you do on Monday is your assigned route for the week. And management moves you tues. Thru fri.
In my center there isn't to many routes that run over 9.5 on any given day so the 9.5 list pretty much doesn't exist.
They don't schedule anyone for anything. They have the "plan" but things alwAys change. We have about 70 routes in my center. We do whatever they assign us for but they let us honor our seniority and bump less senior drivers onto routes, even if it means they go blind.
In this case, I was one of 2 people that knew the route and I was the most senior.
I told my center manager I wanted on the list and he put me on it no prob.

I am a cover driver. I am never "scheduled" but I am expected to show up every morning and grab said DIAD. Therefore I am scheduled to do a route Monday thru Friday. Mgmt chooses to move me where they see fit. All routes pay the same, unless you are pulling a TP60.
