Thanks for the welcome back.
Yes the seasonal period ends Jan 15. Under the supplement in my area it's also the last day TCD's can work...
What Supplement are you under?
A lot of the Supplements don't have TCD's, but all the ones that do, at least as far as I knew, allowed TCD's to work outside of peak.

Section 7 – Part Time Cover Driver
(A) Seniority part-time employees may work as coverage drivers.
They may cover vacations in excess of those filled by full-time
vacation coverage drivers and may fill absences in excess of
those covered by full-time non-bid drivers. All TCD(s) will be
offered package car driver (PCD) work prior to using seasonal
package drivers. Additionally, during the peak season period,
when a PCD(s) is absent, said route(s) will not be abolished
and helper(s) utilization increased to avoid using a TCD(s) to
cover said absence(s). No coverage drivers may be used if full-time
employees are on layoff. Part-time coverage drivers may not be used
to supplement the work force, only as temporary replacements.
