[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 419113, member: 13254"] One of our feeder drivers was previously a PT preloader, then went to the sort aisle and started shifting trailers as well. He bid from PT shifting to feeders. Of course there were no full timers bidding on the run. This is from the Southern Region Supplement : [SIZE=5][FONT=Times-Roman]1. [/FONT][B][FONT=Times-Bold]The Employer will post a feeder driver trainee list and[/FONT][/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=5][B][FONT=Times-Bold]will state the number employees needed for this training.[/FONT][/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=5][B][FONT=Times-Bold]No new list will be posted until the number on the original[/FONT][/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=5][B][FONT=Times-Bold]list has been satisfied. [/FONT][/B][FONT=Times-Roman]Full-time employees who are interested[/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=5][FONT=Times-Roman]in qualifying as tractor-trailer drivers shall [/FONT][B][FONT=Times-Bold]sign the above[/FONT][/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=5][B][FONT=Times-Bold]list [/FONT][/B][FONT=Times-Roman]so notify the Employer. Such employees, except Automotive[/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=5][FONT=Times-Roman] and Maintenance mechanics, in seniority order,[/FONT][FONT=Times-Roman][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=5][FONT=Times-Roman]will be permitted to attend, on their own time, the Employer’s[/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=5][FONT=Times-Roman]training program which will be established periodically when[/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=5][FONT=Times-Roman]the Employer determines there is a need to qualify additional[/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=5][FONT=Times-Roman]tractor-trailer drivers. A good driving record and the employee[/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=5][FONT=Times-Roman]not having an avoidable accident during the preceding year[/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=5][FONT=Times-Roman]are prerequisites for such training provided the employee has[/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=5][FONT=Times-Roman]secured all the appropriate state and/or Federal Licensing[/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=5][FONT=Times-Roman](CDL) permits prior to attending the tractor-trailer qualifying[/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=5][FONT=Times-Roman]school. The Employer agrees to furnish the instructors and[/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=5][FONT=Times-Roman]necessary equipment.
