I guess some districts are different. As far as cdl is concerned in my district it is not required as long as your not on a cdl required bid. I am a package mechanic on a cdl required bid but I am in a rather large hub, so we have to have cdl coverage.
Lol I don’t play their stupid limits on red tags. If I have a engine blow or something unsafe it’s not going back, I am not killing myself or getting somebody killed on the road, the truck sleeps over and they can put a rental in the lineup for all I care. I just don’t put it in the system.
Oh another important difference is some areas are IAM and others are teamster mechanics, I am in the IAM.. I guess we have a better pension
