[QUOTE="35years, post: 4193453, member: 60822"] The problem comes in because the extra work is prior to normal scheduled work. Extra work by contract must be offered by seniority. The driver can not be expected to know if he will be out over 9.5 before his shift. It is different than volunteering at the end of your shift. 9.5 problems have to be dealt with on a day to day basis. So no one could say to a 9.5 list driver he cant volunteer for a 6th shift...Why...Because he has to be offered the extra work by seniority and will not necessarily go over 9.5 on his 6th shift. The same logic applies to accepting extra preload work. The driver can not anticipate violating 9.5 three hours prior to his day. If they offer the extra work to anyone they have to offer it to all as long as DOT hours are not a problem. So they can not exclude a senior driver just because he is on the 9.5 list. At the same time the center management team has to be able to dispatch a reasonable amount of regular work for the driver. In my opinion the solution makes sense to not count the preload work towards 9.5. Our management team initially said if you volunteer for the preload you can not file 9.5. This was straightened out by grievances. We have drivers filing 9.5s and working preload. The preload hours just don't count. Now it would be different if a small center runs a driver sort (every driver sorting everyday as normal scheduled work). Then the preload work would count for 9.5s...Not extra and not voluntary work. Now if the extra work was forced then it would count towards 9.5...Such as requiring an early punch for haz-mat training. [/QUOTE]
