[QUOTE="GuyinBrown, post: 210071, member: 9444"] I've never heard of this either. Maybe we're just using different terminology? In our area we have the following types of drivers.... [B][COLOR=Blue]Bid Drivers[/COLOR][/B] - Full time drivers who have their own route. [B][COLOR=Blue] Swing Drivers[/COLOR][/B] - Full time drivers who do NOT have their own route. They cover routes that are open due to vacations and call-offs. [B][COLOR=Blue] Seasonal Drivers[/COLOR][/B] - Pretty much describes it. They work for a couple months in the summer when vacations are maxed out or during peak. Might work 40+ hours a week if the volume is there, might not work at all if it isn't. Position is offered to part timers first, then filled by outside hires if they can't fill all the positions they need. If they're outside hires, they're not in the union and are let go when vacations ease up or peak ends. We also have both full time and part time air drivers. Is this part-time cover driver you're talking about a seasonal hire or is it a permanent year round position? :confused1 [/QUOTE]
