So my main question is, is there any type of compensation to be had for being sent to work literally every day, out of another building/hub? Been being sent to one that is more than twice as far from home as my home center, it was cool at first because I wasnt getting many days as a new driver, but now its going on 2 months and its getting old commuting an hour each way every day (as opposed to 20 minutes).

Nope. Unless your supplement states otherwise.

Do you want to drive? That's apparently your only option right now. Yes it sucks but it's better than no paycheck.
right, and that's why i've been doing it without saying anything. ive had another driver who was sent to help at the same location say he drives back to his home center to get punched out. i was really just wondering if there was anything in the contract related to this that I missed.

Every local supplement is different. No way I can give you an answer. Just call the union hall and ask to talk to the BA
 

Gear

Parts on Order
As mechanics, we sometimes go to other centers to help or fill in, if some one is off. We punch in at our home center, drive to the other center, do what we have to do, then drive back to our center to punch out. Everything is done on the clock and we use a package car as our transportation.

Yep I'd be off roading with that bitch all the way to the other center!!!

Wah. It beats unemployment.

Why would you ask people on the internet about a local supplement question over say, your steward or B.A.? I would think they'd be able to answer your questions.
