    Driver Seniority vs PT Seniority

    I have more seniority than like 5 drivers in my hub.

    Ups driving record

    hello I’ve been a package handler at ups for 1 year now. Been thinking about being a delivery driver. I have a clean driving record except for an accident that just happened that I was not at fault for. They say you can’t have an accident in the last 3 years. Does this count towards it?

    Hybrid vs Cover Drivers

    Im a bit new but I'm not really seeing how this is affecting RPCDs. I feel like reading the 22.4 is mostly to handle the cover driver problem.
