No, by the time you hit top rate you might have your own route and you don't have to go home, but some guys find someone to cover there route so they can go home..

I guess...
Drake, P&D is UPS freight and not UPS small package, they normally don't hire off the street, you normally have to start as a part time worker loading and/or unloading trucks and work you way into a delivery driver position then it is up to seniority to see who goes to drive the big trucks(feeder).
At UPS Freight you need a CDL with all endorsements to start out and you normally work as a Dock/CDL driver meaning you load/unload our trucks and drive if needed.

In my district there are outside cover guys that have been trying/promised to get hired full time for over 5 years

Four years to full rate is a joke. And unfortunately I have a feeling it's only going to get longer. I feel this is one issue the union CANNOT cave on. What's next? 5-7 years for full rate. That's ridiculous

What's next? Two-tiered wages for drivers with a lower top out and longer progression.
You can only Blane the part timers. They are the majority and don't vote
That's why the starting pay is so crappy

The four year progression rate for driver is not that bad. We have people getting driver jobs in our building who are 21 or 22 years old so in four years or less than college they will be making $80K. The bigger problem and completely ignored problem is the four years for new hires until they get on the regular raise schedule. While we will be enjoying the $1.00 raise next (split into two parts albeit) someone who has worked here only 3 years PT will only get .50 cents and they are the ones who need it most. The next contract should be geared almost entirely to bumping up part-time pay. At a certain point full-timers need to be careful about making too much money because when tough times come nobody will fee sorry for someone making as much as we do.
The part timers do not vote. That's why they get the shaft.

The ones who are in the four year progression would not have had the ability to vote as they weren't in the union before being hired.
We are the ones doing it to them so we can make $36 an hour.In general the part timers don't vote. So the company addresses the ones that vote.The ones who are in the four year progression would not have had the ability to vote as they weren't in the union before being hired.

This is untrue.
The company and union work together to determine the PT starting wage.
