Deranged lunatic
correct me if I'm wrong or if there are supplimental differences but:
1. follow the majority of your work onto a route that has not been bid on (junk routes) assigned to 22.4. No seniority prevailing
2. follow the majority of your work onto a bidded route, seniority prevailing.
3. bump into the pool of non-bid cover drivers, seniority prevailing.

yeah you can pull rank...show up at 8am and demand another route. They’ll lie and say ..blah blah blah he doesn’t know that. Then that’s when you bring up that everyone has GPS now.STAY STRONG

I was never a cover driver. I was on the same route for 8 years before I went to feeders. Someone, in their infinite wisdom, took me off my bid route and put me on another one. I started calling in for help around 9am. They never did that again.

I’m not sure how VC (vacation cover) works in package but I’ll tell you what would happen in feeders. I’m in the southern as well and who knows, maybe it’s the same for package. VC guys only cover routes for a week at a time and must rebid every week. If the guy likes the route he covered, and the bid driver is out for more than one week, he can bid it again.
If a bid drivers run is cut or modified, a bump and roll is started and you may bump any junior driver.
Once the schedule is made for the week, that’s it. If you bump someone after the schedule is finalized, you will have to wait for the next week before you start on the run you bumped on.
Long story short, there is no such thing as bumping a senior guy.

Where did all the work go? Pretty hard to just hack a regular route. Even if light, you might get a split added.

Because your job is to deliver packages for UPS not just deliver your bid route.
If you want to go home then exercise your rights through Article 64 if you have the seniority.

I don't think the southern has any of that language.

I don't see how you could bump a higher seniority driver off of a weekly bid route. If that's what you're asking.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
When I finally bid a route, I still was pretty low on the list so I took a route that was a “spare” but it was in Tuesday to Friday, Monday it was usually cut because of volume. I worked whatever was available. That’s how it worked if you want your guaranteed 8.
No a bid route but a split route. I wouldn’t want to do it, but I was just wondering because here they cut bid routes but put in split routes.
Lol, I’m a cover driver, I don’t give a
either way, I was just wondering
Oh look, a keyboard warrior. Can’t ask a question on here without a
