As a newly full time package driver am I guarantee 8 hours? If so how would this apply with me if i had to work inside the hub. I'm in the Southern Supplement if that helps any.

Working inside the Hub you are only guaranteed 3 1/2 hours per sort. Most FT package car drivers don't want 8 hours because it is a lot more work then they are used to.

Wrong , if I understand the OP.
If you go to work as a driver and they say "we don't have work for you" you can and are entitled to your 8 hours. They could have you clean the floors or toilets. Whatever it is you can get your 8 hours. In some locals you can even refused to work out of classification and demand 8 as a driver.

I will have to look it up, but I believe a driver who is laid off for a day can displace 2 p/t and get their 8 hours. (this is in the Southern)

Nice to know that info. When you find the exact verbiage in supplement please let me know so I could read up on it.

Several of us made the jump to full time around the same time three years ago. There wasn't enough work to go around, so I got my 8 by double shifting (preload and local sort). It wasn't ideal, but a guarantee is a guarantee.

Your a ft driver. You show up to drive they have to offer you work. If not u get 8 hrs pay to go home. File the grievance. They have to give u a heads up if you are not driving a day ahead of time. And offer you inside the buildibg work. You may have to work preload and reload to get the 8, but this is what happens to the lower seniority guys... never to me but ive seen it over the years... at least you made the ft cutt, just stick out the bullsiiiit.

Bottom 10% of FT drivers do not have a 40 hr/wk guarantee. You have the right to displace the lowest PT employee on any sort as long as you have more company seniority and you have a 3 1/2 hour guarantee.

Gotcha! But I have one question, will I get my hub rate or driver FT rate if I had to work inside?
Full time drivers don't have a hub rate. Just their FT rate. You do need to punch in on a board and code the time out as a sort in Other Work.

Full time hub rate. So if you're in progression you would actually get paid MORE to work inside.
Our bottom feeder drivers complain about having to work inside because they don't like actually having to work. But when they drive they would only get $18.75 driving. If they work in the hub they make $28+. They complain when they drive and they don't make "enough" and they complain when they have to work in the hub and have to WORK. Can't win sometimes.

Our laid off package car drivers make starting FT inside rate, $15/hr. Not sure why Feeders would be any different. And yes they complain because the work is so much harder and they are treated like crap.
