Are you a 22.4? Regular package driver? Or just seasonal? I'm guessing seasonal. You can turn the work down. But it doesn't mean they will keep you on. Did you sign a seasonal contract?I’m a cover driver who’s been on for about a year now. When I first started I had a about 40+ hr work weeks.
I wwas on unemployment. Long story but it ran out. And I work just enough now not to b eligible for it.Go on unemployment. That may prod them into giving you more work. Don’t turn down work if offered...
Oops.
after Jan. Things slowed down a lot. Basically getting about 13 hrs a week now.
my question is:
if I find part time work somewhere els for 2 days a week (basically the slower days like Tuesday and Thursdays) And I’m asked to work. Can I turn down the work?
Aaahhh. Yea I work Preload whenever they ask. Didnt know I can ask FTers if I can run their routes. But what about seniority and other cover drivers in front of me? Could that cause a problem?Problem is that if you turn down work they aren't going to keep you. Ask if you can work preload the days they aren't going to have you drive.
The other option is that there is always a few FT drivers that will go home regularly. Find out who they are and ask them if they want the day off and run their routes, especially Mondays and Fridays. Those guys usually will always take a long weekend
