Do you absolutely HAVE to take a package car route if you win the bid for it? I have won a bid on a route but my wife’s health situation dictates me not being able to take it. (It has late pick ups)
Route bid.

Thank you, I was aware I could cross my name off it, but it has been removed from the bulletin board
Just tell him you pass on it it happens many times

Only way outs inna box
See what FMLA can do for you guys or try and reason with management about giving that pick up to a neighbor. Few guys here at my center are on FMLA and managed to get their stop count lowered. hope it works out for you guys.

Not in the 177, package or feeder you write your name on the bid sheet, and you are awarded the route in package, or job bid in feeders it’s yours. Only way off is to win the bid on a different job.

Well that sounds pretty sucky. We always had a 2 week grace period where you could get your old route back if you decide the new one wasn't for you.

Might be a loop mate out there who's looking for the OT and would be willing to accept those pickups.

Fat chance -----from what I read on here NOBODY wants to "work' anymore. UPS is lucky if they can get 3 days a week out of anyone.

Maybe a letter box but that would be about it for any help offered.

Yeah right
The guys that want OT don't take extra work... They drag their own ish out and file 9.5.
I bring the ground and air in. Often it means getting a pickup or two on the way in. If it’s an emergency or family emergency we help out.
So you can't say you changed your mind?

Nope. Once the sheet comes down with your name on it as top seniority it’s yours. Nothing you can do.
You can't pass?

Why would that even be a rule? It's not like there aren't multiple people wanting to take it if you don't...
I'm calling bs. Never heard of that.

No definitely not in feeders. I believe in package you get a certain number of days to try the route and if you don’t like you go back to your old route. It’s been a long time since I left package but I believe that’s how it works. Feeders, it’s yours. Can’t pass, no backing out. The bids are yearly in feeders so you’re only screwed until the new bid. It just happened last year. Feeder driver signed wrong job, went ballistic.
