Extended Area routes to run only 3 days per week?

He must’ve been highly sought after!

He's a real looker

And lunch during a contractual hour. The only dispatch tools at your disposal. So many guys taking lunch at the building at the end because "I have too much business, there's no way I'd get it all done if I took lunch." Or because "I have to get the pickups back before cutoff." Yeah, no kidding you morons. You would have an hour less work if you followed the contract.

If you could break down every driver who works faster than they need to or off the clock and add that time up over a month and the amount brown is saving is astronomical.

Why should a lower seniority guy be given the choice of the day off before a senior driver?

Because his route was cut because of mismanagement. The higher seniority guy in your scenario still has his route in.

I'm assuming he's talking about this language...

But that language wouldn't pertain to this situation. Because the route isn't still in but missing over 50% of its work. It's been temporarily eliminated. So it would fall under this language in my opinion.

Well, I always chose option #4….

Take a route out blind and tank it so hard they never cut your route out again!

Definitely. Unfortunately most people are scared to do that. Probably a good share of the tough guys on this forum are too soft to do that.

Well, I’m not really tough. I just suck.

cut the higher seniority route then (if the senior driver chooses)

I had to use a calculator but turns out that 100% is more than 50%. Both those paragraphs apply and say the same thing except the western supp added option 3. We’ve been using it successfully since January.

And Walmart has good meat now it comes in black packages!!!

Lol,

The key words here are "changed" and "eliminated".

If the route, let's say 10C is in and more than 50% of its work is moved to a different route than the West language would apply. Thats because the route has been "changed" by over 50%.

If 10C is not in that means it's been "eliminated". So the Southwest language would apply.

Contract interpretation is very difficult so don't be hard on yourself. If you're getting away with it then great! Though I wouldn't count on it always being that way. Especially once grievances start flying for high seniority members not being allowed to go home before lower members.

That’s kind of where I was going with it..

For some, they potentially would have bid on a route if they knew they we’re guaranteed a day off during the week.

I personally have passed on routes because the route was cut during the week and the driver was forced to swing.

Not the @kingofgifs I’ll run any route but they probably won’t like it

That’s exactly what happened at my old hub ( they would bid a route knowing most Mondays would be dead days)…. My new hub the driver that previously had Mondays off now covers on Mondays and we’re talking 15-30 year drivers… I bid my route simply because it runs m-friend and never changes too much except Monday the area is huge and it gets smaller every day after except Fridays sometimes when we have 25% call offs fmla and such

I'm sure you always put "them" in their place. I know that you scare me...

Most likely you showed up an hour early. Got your truck all set up. Hung out with your management friends. Then ran like a scared cat. (How long before I get banned for this one I wonder)

I know dudes like that, very doubtful @burrheadd was anything like that ever

And how would you know? How would you know if people on this forum actually work at UPS? Pretty easy to pretend that you work at UPS on this forum. A lot of the people around here believe everything that they read on the internet.
