[Peppermint Patty]

You made 67k as a part time tcd?

He works more hours than I do.

You made 67k as a part time tcd?

He is not a TCD.

 

[Peppermint Patty]

But what then a part time preloader?

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

But what then a part time preloader?

Some people are classified as part time but make top rate.

 

[Peppermint Patty]

Oh ok I guess that makes sense.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Oh ok I guess that makes sense.

It depends upon which contract you were hired under.

 

[DriveInDriѵeOut]

You made 67k as a part time tcd?

Not hard to make that much as a part time TCD here, 85% of top rate.
It's not a bad gig if you don't mind constantly going out blind for the first year or so.

 

[Over 70]

Multiple reg temps are at top rate where I'm at.

 

[Peppermint Patty]

Smae time frame to max out pay as a full time driver? If you are a tcd?

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Multiple reg temps are at top rate where I'm at.

Same here

 

[Over 70]

Smae time frame to max out pay as a full time driver? If you are a tcd?

Of course, 4 year progression under current contract

 

[PT Car Washer]

But what then a part time preloader?

PT car washer/air exception driver covering AM and PM air routes during vacations and Saturday air driver. Also whatever else pops up during the week . A lot of times things that pop up during the week pay top driver rate. Only live 15 minutes from the building so is no big deal to brown up when needed. Also at the end of my career but not ready to slow down yet.

 

[DriveInDriѵeOut]

Smae time frame to max out pay as a full time driver? If you are a tcd?

Ya once you go full time it's four years but you're at 85% of top rate the whole time.

 

[Over 70]

Ya but you're at 85% of top rate for the entire four years.

Not where I'm at. Start at 18.75 with 4 year progression. Isn't 85% only in the south?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

TCD's start at 85%.

TCD's start at 85%.

Ya, I didn't know there were temporary cover drivers outside of the south, thought they were called something different elsewhere.

 

[Over 70]

I thought reg temps were same as tcd, just a different way of saying it. Guess not.

Part timer that drives as needed...

 

[Peppermint Patty]

@PT Car Washer are you worried if and when Saturday air goes away? Or will you just do whatever air work pops up during the week?

Worried may be too strong of a word. Thinking they will still need a PT air driver to run rural routes and the smaller towns. Or could work the Saturday preload for time and a half of $34.65/hr. instead of $27.64/hr. air rate. Or get used to the reduced income for when I do retire. Saying Saturday ground is going to be starting this Summer or before the end of this year. Worth sticking around for just to see how well it works. Or not work.
