[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 1271762, member: 42554"] You would need a copy of your work rules for your specific location to verify how seniority works. Here you are end tailed as you come in but selected to qualify based on your Company seniority. So some people below me have more actual Company seniority because they didn't take the opportunity to go to Feeders the first time it was offered to them, or they disqualified themselves in the first week (now if you do that you are permanently disqualified). I'm glad you are asking these questions, as here we have changed how we orientate the new transfers due to some bad situations with people qualifying for Feeders then deciding it's not for them. Here it's a 3 year committment unless you want to give up all your Package seniority for a year and become the bottom utility driver. Now we have a Steward come in and give a 'come to Jesus' talk to the new drivers on the first day so everyone is clear what they are signing up for. Yes you will be working on Sunday, Mothers Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve. Yes you can expect a call 8 hours into your 10 hours off to report in 2 hours. Yes you should expect to be sent on Sleeper at any time. Yes you will be on nights one week then days, without rhyme or reason etc, etc. It's not for everyone, but most love the job for once.
