Do any designated responders receive skilled rate of pay at air gateways?

I'm not sure what a gateway is, but in my center I'm always told I'm lucky I'm getting skilled pay because clerk type positions are supposed to be $1 less. I don't care. They're "lucky" because no one else wants to do that job, and if they take away my $1, I'll just say I'm not a dr anymore. Just will do my regular shift , punch out, and get my happy butt home. I get overtime almost everyday because of all the damaged leaking Amazon crap on the feeder unloads. I process after the sort is done and then all the other damages that the p.m. sort clerks leave in the building and don't process.

Gateway = airport.
I don't know about gateways, but in the ground hub where I work, responders do not get the skilled pay raise.

We had a "trained" responder transported to the hospital for an allergic reaction to an improperly handled unknown substance leaker.

Dayum! I'm glad I had a good sup to train me. If I can see its Ensure or bottles of water, I grab it. If I can see it's going to a hospital or a battery, I suit up. If it's paint or bleach, I suit up because I don't want to ruin my spiffy non-slip shoes or my "I Love UPS" shirt!

Sure. I didn't bid on it. Everyone on my preload is just. "Preloader". We don't have preferred positions. The person before me was a bid clerk and a DR. That person just said they weren't gonna do them anymore. The sup was doing them, so I volunteered and did the training. I work in smalls and do the DR when we have a leaker. In big centers, I think they have people who DR exclusively, not unload trucks AND DR. I don't know though, maybe someone will tell us. After the clerk quit, they didn't put it up for bid. Someone just "clerks".
