So if a senior PC driver gets into feeders, he bumps all other less seniority under him?
In my local, yes.
Sucks to be a feeder guy hired off the street. Probably be on the extra board for 20 years.

No bid is revisited. He's not bumping the first guy out of TCD classification, just going higher on the list when driving work is available. When not driving they work inside.The seniority question is an interesting one. A qualified TCD driving for say 2 years with 10 years with the company gets bumped by a guy who makes his 30 days and has 10 years and a day? That doesn't seem correct.
The slot was filled by the bid the first TCD won. How can that bid be revisted?
Central Region.curious, what region?
We don't use temp drivers but that is the way PT seniority works in my building. Also FT. You carry your seniority with you no matter what job you bid.No bid is revisited.

In the South there's only two seniority lists, part time and full time. TCD's are part timers so go off of the part time list. Our TCD's also make $28 an hour when driving and are red circled at that rate when they eventually win a friend/T bid.... on the surface it seems like a pretty sweet deal considering the 4 year progression.
Trust me i know the job isnt for everyone. I am currently a PT package handler and been one for 6 years. Ive done driver helper 3 out of the 6 and it sucks unless u got a cool/respectable driver. Most of all the pay sucks. I just feel like i went to driving school well ahead to avoid limbo. And my luck i make it on the LIST of tcds to train next year. I wont let up though bc i want this job badly.Sorry. May want to apply as a PT package handler and move up to Air driver and than package car driver. The job is not for everyone.
