Did you bid into a full time classification?Obviously your seniority is what gets you the job, but can you start bidding on jobs your first day or what type of time period until you can bid?

I guess it depends on your area. We just had someone go full time package, and he was in it two weeks and got a call from feeders and went to feeders.You have to wait until you make seniority before you can bid on anything. Other rules are you have to stay in your current job 6 months before you can bid again.
The thing I've always wondered about the route bids is if someone that's call in/on call a day or a few each week signs up for a route & gets it, does said person automatically run the route all 5 days of the week, or will someone higher up in seniority that's either vacation coverage or lower split route coverage be expected to fill it if they're scheduled to work & the person that bid on said route is not.? Just curious how this works w/ the always inaccurate volume & volume forecasts mgmt. & dispatch try to go by when scheduling each week.?
I believe that if you win a bid and take it you stay on it for a certain period of time. That being said you can bid into a higher paid position any time you want , even if its posted a week after you were awarded your previous bid. One example would be package to carwash ( shift differential ). Another would be package to feeders.( rate of pay).
