[QUOTE="Rick Ross, post: 3743974, member: 51847"] Where? I thoroughly understand the 3rd bump rule in my supplement and even posted the page concerning it. It seems very fair since we bid every six months. I find it hard to believe that language that could make feeder seniority skip a hundred drivers or more (I've been to hubs with over 100 drivers on the Q list) is still in the master. I'm talking feeder seniority. In my area you can be a full-time feeder driver for years and not have feeder seniority. We have Q list drivers who have come into feeders off the street or from part-time with 10+ years in feeders, without gaining feeder seniority. They have turned down chances to take the 3rd bump or bid new runs when our bids come up because they don't want a crappy schedule and make more money on the Q list. This time of year with vacations slowing down it gets tougher because many of the bid coverage jobs will be on call daily. So the Q list guy who is on call 1 through spring and summer may be on call 18 this week and struggle to get 3-4 days, which is fine because they have been sucking up daily call in mileage runs for the past 6 months and making $2200+ a week vs our bottom runs which are all 4x10 and have you lucky to get 44 hours for the week. The negative to this strategy is if we lose runs. People with less seniority but who have attained feeder seniority will work before you on coverage. [/QUOTE]
