[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 715333, member: 4653"] I think Over9five has it correct here. I'm also assuming your route is cut on Mondays and any other light day but is in 3-4 days/week? It also sounds like your work goes to 3-6 drivers and you can't really follow it? Its my understanding you can bump anyone with lower senoirity for the day, any day. Even if it means bumping a driver off his bid route for the day. However, like Over said, your route would have to be out for 14(or whatever the number is) before you could permantly bump said driver off his bid route permantly. Also, you might be "forced" to bump the lowest senoirity driver working that day. In other words, I don't think you can just take your pick of routes and say: "I want to bump this guy" when "this guy" has juice over other drivers. If you really want to get technical and by the "book" you would have to bump the lowest guy regardless if you knew the route ot not. I've never seen this happen and never seen the issue forced, but this is how it should pan out. The only exception would be if you were a cover driver and forced to work as directed. In other words, they can put you where ever the hell they want, except laid off, if junior guys are working. When you think about it, its correct. How can you go and bump "A" driver because you know and like the route, When "A" driver has senoirity over 5 other drivers and doesn't know any of their routes. It wouldn't be fair to "A" driver to be laid off with junior guys working. Do you follow me? I would love to be corrected if I'm wrong. The bottom line is, if you're bumped for the day and you want to work you have to bump the lowest guy when all other options are exhuasted. Now, it sounds like you have a route that will be cut the entire summer or at least 60 days. In this situation you can either stay on your route and work as directed for the summer and have your route back in september or you can bump someone off their bid route after 14 days. Then you own the route until the next bid. I hope this helps, lol. Browniehound [/QUOTE]
