I'm 8 years in with the company now, I'm pt preloader who is also a pkg car cover driver. I used to drive for pepsi for 5 yrs before I came aboard the brown enterprise. I've been trying to get into feeders now for almost 4 years sending in intent letters a few times a year making calls up to the hub office yada yada. Last year 2014 I finally get a road test in late march after being told I can not be a feeder cover driver because I am already a pkg car cover driver meaning I cannot cross train...lol sooo I some how got through the red tape and ended up failing the road test on account of my down shifiting was not up to par, that was only thing wrong granted it's kinda important. So sup says just take a few classes and practice your shifting and come back next year. Ok sorry this is taking so long but the details are important. circa 2015 I call up to the feeder office at the hub tell them Im ready to take the test again, they say the same thing as last year that I cannot cross train being im a pt pkg cover driver, who's title is actually preloader. I get through the red tape again and get the road test and sure enough I pass it time with flying colors. So I figure with in reasonable time I would be going for training... not gonna happen. I made the first mistake by giving one of my pkg car sups the heads up I would be going for training in the near future and he said I thought u couldn't go. the next day I get a phone call from my union Ba who Is worthless now in my eyes, and tells me do you wanna retire with the company yada yada then goes on to tell me the labor guy up at the hub wants to fire me for insubordination for calling up to the feeder office and trying to get a job with feeders. Just so everyone knows my BA and steward have both told me a couple times this years prior to my road test to stay away from feeders, there's nothing there for me and stay in pkg car.. Sounds fishy right? well it def  is.. My steward is the junior feeder driver in our building with only 3 ft guys here. there is no cover driver in our building so any coverage comes from our close by neighbor center which is in our same local and is only 20 mins from our building. Now the best part is that building has a pt cover feeder driver who's only been with the company for a couple years, started off as a preloader then went on to pkg car covering now is a feeder guy.. funny how that works he did get feeder qualified fall of 2014. there are 2 casual feeder guys in that building too, and one of them is good friends with my steward and he does the majority of the coverage work for my building. So is there any other way to say im being royally screwed by my own steward and BA. so now im heading to the president of our local to tell him my story and hopefully set up a meeting with all these knuckles heads and put them on the spot for screwing me over...nice huh.. any advice would be much apprecitated...</p></blockquote><p></p>
