You are correct. A seniority driver is guaranteed 8 hours each day. You most certainly can bump a junior man REGARDLESS of whether you know that route.
They may not like it (or you!), but you are here for the money, and ya aint gonna make any goin' home!
See your steward tomorrow.

Yup, what they all said. If you're a fulltime driver (cover or bid), you prevail. Only way you don't is if the guys under you have bid routes. I know I passed up several routes over the years because I had the seniority to cover premiere rural routes. Luckily, I had enough guys under me coverwise I wouldn't get laid off. But I do believe you can't pull a bid drivers route from him, even if you have more seniority.

Steel,
where I'm from it doesn't matter if you have a bid route. If I have more juice than you I can bump you off your bid route for the day if I have no work. I was in your situation for a while. I would rather cover than bid a bad route and be stuck on it for a year. But if I had no work I could bump the junior guy from his bid route.

I dont see how that would be fair, now understand we only bid a route whenever it becomes available. We dont bid yearly. So you could have bid a route but chose not to, and now you dont have work and thats the bid route drivers fault how? Not picking on you and i understand seniority rules in all cases but i cant see that.
