[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 131743, member: 198"] I'd say you are lucky to have gotten a combo job at all. Not just based on your low seniority but also the fact that in the hubs it takes a long time to get a full-time driving position and in most places it takes even longer to get a combo job. Allot of drivers bid out of driving and into combo jobs. Why? Because combos are pretty much a cake walk. Usually an air route of some kind and then whatever inside the hub. Most of the combo jobs I saw in the hub I worked in where "PM Air" Routes combined with hub jobs on the midnight shifts. Those guys go around and pickup letter boxes and UPS Stores and then come inside and sort, load, or unload, smalls, etc. I did meet some people that didn't drive a package car at all but instead they just double shifted each day. Smalls/Shifter was a good combo. My little ole extended center only has one combo job. A preload/air delivery combo. They can't combine any jobs other than that because we only have preload and reload shifts. [/QUOTE]
