Where we're at there's not a TCD rate, it's top driver rate. Top pay for TCD and full time driver are the same. Yes, pension years are covered under the ups part time pension plan. When a full time bid opens up, the highest TCD gets the fulltime route (unless it's the 6 for 1, then they hire that 1 off the street). Then the TCD becomes classified as fulltime but his pay remains the same because he's already at top rate and has been through the wage progression, his fulltime pension begins at this time. From what I've read on here it seems to be different in all parts of the country.
