[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 339761"] I.D.L.W.T.M., For someone whose name says you "do less work than most," you sure are putting out extra effort to nic-pick me. As you know, the Contract is full of contradictions and exceptions, and differences from one supplement to the other, and differences in interpretation, and past practice, and level of local enforcement. Neither I nor any other poster can address every possible variation without turning our posts into magazine length articles. Besides, we have an obligation to address the issue the original poster raised, and try to stay on topic. He was not asking about Article 40 and its concessionary language that specifically says it overrides other language, when it comes to air driving (part-time and full-time.) He was not interested in the few exceptions when a part-timer can drive on the property for a few minutes in New England. His question was about continuous driving as a regular 5-day a week bid job. It's not worth the effort for me to comment on each of your points, except to say that the original poster is from Florida so I doubt he is looking for a detailed off-topic discussion of the New England Supplement. He has years of experience with UPS (and the Contract) so I assume he understood every word I wrote. My comment about the Twilight Zone was intended to remind everyone that we are all on shakey ground any time we say anything about the Contract, due to all the inconsistencies and local variations. As always, everything I say is true, so long as you read it accurately, and take it in context. [/QUOTE]
