same hereHere again, we see how things differ from one center to the next. Our cover drivers are full time and get bonus.

this is exactly why I didn't want to ask my boss or co-workersMy advise.
1) Don't get use to bonus. They giveth and they can taketh.
2) Don't work for bonus. Work to complete your day and your career.
OK, I'm more confused than when I started. If you are dispatched at 9 hours and do it in 7 do you get 1 hour guarantee pay and 1 hour bonus or do you just get the guarantee pay?
Running "scratch" means you drove so many miles, made so many delivery and pickup stops, and a few other things in the planned amount of time. It uses a nearly impossible math formula to achieve a planned day based on you having a miracle day where everything goes right.
Maybe not. I'll explain it different.Here again, we see how things differ from one center to the next. Our cover drivers are full time and get bonus.
Sounds like my center. Add in the kid who goes to the airport at 3 am to get the air. That job should be FT. He delivers til between 11 am -1pm.Maybe not. I'll explain it different.
1.We have full-time drivers who have a bid route.
2.We have full-time drivers who don't have bid routes(swing drivers).
3.We have cover drivers that basically do what a full-time driver does just make less money and are usually sent back to pre-load or re-load during summer.They are essentially part-timers. No friend/t vacation,no bonus,not guaranteed 8 hours,can't be on 9.5 list.
Is that how it is there?

Sounds unfair. Strange concept.Bid drivers and the "swing" drivers. All full time drivers.
The drivers that are working summer vacations and peak are not in progression and are not coded as full time even tho they are working 40 plus hours a week, They do not get bonus.
It is very unfair. As far as I understand the cover driver concept was to be used to cover vacations and staffing issues. But here they are used to supplement the friend/t workforce. We have far more cover drivers that work than people on vacation. To me that means we need more friend/t drivers. I could be wrong though.Sounds unfair. Strange concept.
You aren't wrong. We have covers/casuals working year round, when they use to actually visit their home shifts once in a while. I don't see the union demanding the FT jobs that so desperately are needed.It is very unfair. As far as I understand the cover driver concept was to be used to cover vacations and staffing issues.

Our center pays bonus as straight pay, not overtime.
Ours too.Our center pays bonus as straight pay, not overtime.
As would I.I would like to see a pay stub that verifies this. Production bonus is not a union negotiated benefit so why do some Centers get it at time and a half?
I can provide proof that my bonus is paid at time and a half with guarantee being paid at regular time.
Wow. That's awesome.I can provide proof that my bonus is paid at time and a half with guarantee being paid at regular time.
