[QUOTE="trickpony1, post: 135517, member: 1957"] Tieguy- "dirtnut was a qualified feeder coverage driver.....". Where/whom qualifed him? I'm just guessing here but was it the company during a company feeder school? I seriously doubt dirtnut went to the local grocery store and got his CDL. He probably didn't go out a rent a truck on his own and qualify either. Here's another guess......... My state requires a class "A" CDL with a "T" endorsement (doubles, triples). Since the CDL license is federally mandated and supported by a nationwide computer database, would I be inaccurate to assume that the state that dirtnut lives in would require a class "A" as well as a "T" endorsement? Your thoughts on the seniority issue are valid and I commend you. There is language in our contract that states, in effect, that any mistakes on the seniority list, after a certain length of time, will stand. I make it a habit of checking the seniority list frequently to assure that no one made a "mistake". I do think it is a crying shame that "whoever" dropped dirtnut from the coverage seniority list, "by accident" isn't held accountable for not being able to duplicate a list of names and dates, in it's entirity, without making a mistake. So........who lost out on this one? The company and dirtnut, simply because the company has to spend the time and money to qualify a new driver AND (here's the most costly factor) dirtnut will remember this. If the company would put a little thought into the things they do instead of "act first, think later", it might benefit everyone. [/QUOTE]
