Is it worth starting off as a 22.4?

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

I agree. A lot of word of mouth interpretation going on. Unfortunately all the 22.4 drivers are going to have to wait and see how it gets handled and grieve from there.

I definitely wouldn't want to be a new driver starting out now.

I know. I'm so glad I got in as the last contract expired. There is a group of us (15 or so) that feel very lucky not to have to deal with it.

It's not going to get any better.

Bad enough to know I've got 17+ to go, wouldn't want to deal with 22.4 on top of it. But you do what you have to, and unfortunately 22.4 is the new reality for newbies.

I'm sure all if the young guys are going to want to work Saturday and Sunday...

I've got drivers with 20+ years in that sign up to work Saturday and Sunday if needed. I know the money is good but no thanks. I hated working T-S when I got FT, couldn't wait for bids to come and get back to M-friend.

I'll work a Sunday because that would be double time for me.

That will probably never happen again.

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

I can't get any clear language on that. Whenever we eventually get those 22.4 jobs I heard they are locked into them for a year and can't bid on a RPCD job until they have a year in. It's scaring some of these guys about signing a bid.

The language in this contract sucks big time.

Sad day my friend.

I hope that Big Union Guy....doesn't see this. Lol.

Vague language = bad language.

Anyone miss there PT preload/local sort friends and/or relationships after going driving fulltime?

Apparently some here do because they are at work a couple hours prior to start time. Lol.

I know some guys hated their time as PT inside. Im thinking it'll be a big lifestyle change for me, being out driving alone all the time save for some customers you see for 30 seconds every now and then.

If you want a career at UPS, go FT as soon as you can. Depending on your Supplement,FT gets to bid on any open FT jobs before PT. Many part timers in my Local didn’t want to be a driver,so they passed on the job hoping for a 22.3. Problem is a guy hired off the street as a driver gets the 22.3 before a part timer,no matter how much Seniority the PT has...

 

[UnconTROLLed]

I can only go by what the 22.3 drivers told me when I asked them about what they make.
Of course different supplements may be worded differently.

Article 40 combo is not a 22.3, though? Are you talking about 22.4? They are combo air drivers if making PT ratr inside and progression outside. I had one of those jobs.

22.4 is the new jobs in the contract.
We got 22.3 jobs after the strike of 97

Lol....you are talking about air combos,they are not 22.3

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Yes they are

 

[bowhnterdon]

Air Combo is considered a 22.3 position. You get the the FT air rate for delivery of air,and your inside rate is based on Company Seniority
