[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 580788, member: 1664"] Under the contract in Texas, any driver not just a satellite, that bids on an extended route ( meaning driving over 150 miles and being designated as an extended) has lost all rights to file a 9.5 grievance under the teamster contract. A union rep was present when this PM announcement was made and he agreed. The "logic" being, and as explained as such, that a driver bid on an extended route and should expect to work long hours. The key is that the route has been "designated", as an extended route. I have been a solo satellite driver for 14yrs. The last 5yrs I have averaged 9.5 to 10hr days. Now that economy is in a downturn, I average 10 to 11hr days. I have to call in and get help at least 3 days a week to keep within compliance with DOT hrs. Sorry, I am starting to rant, but this is the new cost saving UPS that I deal with now. [/QUOTE]
