[QUOTE="pkg-king, post: 306977, member: 10175"] In our area you can be classified as a temporary cover driver, but still work 40+ hours per week covering different roures everyday or covering vacation. This can go on for years until you get a FT cover bid. Some drivers work like this for up to 5 years or more. They are paid FT wages but still classified as PT, and are covered with PT benefits and pension. All drivers start out this way. So when you first start driving, if you are classified as a temp. cover driver for your first 5 years or so, that just means you have to work that much longer to retire. It sucks because you are working the same hours and doind the same job as the fulltimers. Roughly the bottom 10 drivers on our seniority list of 50 drivers are classified as this, it has been this way for about 20 years. [/QUOTE]
