[QUOTE="OLDMAN3, post: 1517141"] As someone else mentioned, if you are on the same route for a full week you can file a 9.5 grievance. Make sure you know all the DOT hours of service restrictions, since they are making you work in the hub as well as drive. Make sure you are properly compensated for all time worked...Don't let them tell you after driving you have to sit off the clock till the sort starts. Make sure you are taking all your break. Since you are a full time cover driver of over 8 months, I really doubt they can force you to work in the bldg after completing over 8 hours of work driving. In the Central Region at least, I am almost positive that would violate the Region supplement and you could file a grievance to stop it (BUG correct me if I am wrong). You have the right to two 8 hour days per month (if not 3 in some areas). In the Central you can bring the stops back as missed if you are going to be over 8 hours and gave them sufficient notice to take the stops off of you. There are more protections as well depending on your area supplement. But it all comes down to how much are you willing to learn about your rights, and do you have the guts to stand up to them. If not, it will only get worse for you since they now consider you their whipping boy. [/QUOTE]
