[QUOTE="hondo, post: 928103, member: 8661"] No problem, I understand. As a general piece of advice for any fellow PT UPS Teamster, the best shift is the one they can get to everyday, on time; just keep climbing that seniority list. However, having worked Twilight many years myself, it is a struggle to retrain myself to look at the parts of the delivery address or PAL & service level code & the other accessorial add-ons a driver (or preloader) needs to. And as far as working as an Exception air driver, I strongly suspect that is only going to happen for someone working on the preload shift. Between Hours of Service regulations and call-in/commute time, I don't see it happening for a Twilight employee. Saturday air driver is probably the best suggestion I have for you, but remember: [LIST] [*]Hours of Service restrictions. You need to know what time the Saturday air unload/sort starts, and what the commit times are in your area (does the co. offer EAM service in your area on Saturday, what is the regular Saturday commit time?). And if the Saturday air dept and your twilight hub mgmnt can accomodate your restrictions [*]Are you going to be able/required to work every Saturday? [*]Do they use PAS/EDD for Saturday, or is it up to each driver to load & map out the run with his/her area knowledge? [*]Do you have enough hours left if you work any other job during the week?
