Cover drivers for Feeders- Syracuse

[SyrSmalls]

I've been at UPS for 5 yrs. Just got my CDL A and interested in going to feeders.

As a cover are you still guaranteed your 17.5 hrs a week? And at a bigger facility like Syracuse are you likely to get more hours than that regularly?

The 17.5 is only for insiders.

Yes, you should get much more than that in a bldg like Syracuse, especially as we approach Peak.

Yep and any snowstorm will by the end of the week give you more hours than you would have had otherwise.

Where I'm at, we don't have this ridiculous part-time feeder crap. You're either a full-time feeder driver, or you're laid off. And as such, you are guaranteed 40 hours a week.

Really, What's up with this part-time crapola?

 

[whatever's clever]

So there’s no guarantee for cover drivers is that right

Depends on your supplement.

 

[whatever's clever]

I’ve been through ours a few time I don’t see a guarantee discussed

 

[whatever's clever]

If you guys wouldn’t mind can you tell me what section of the supplement it goes under

 

[budlight]

Have you gone through the school and qualified yet? There's no guarantee here for being a part-timer and on the qualified list here, aside from your p/t guarantee.

You go full feeder or you don't go at all. Case closed.

You should probably have added "where I work" to your statements. Unfortunately, there ARE part-time feeder drivers in Syracuse. Package car drivers as well. They are referred to as "Temporary Part-Time Cover Drivers". Temporary meaning that it happens on a regular basis- hence the two-tier wage Upstate pines about. It already occurs in Upstate NY. They are being allowed to use Article 22.3 employees to shift in the yard as well. Sad state of affairs.

Are you in feeders? If I hugged you could I get my arms around you?

You can try, but I don't think you will be very happy after the fact.
