Utility Drivers

[Jax65]

Utility Drivers need to be on progressive pay same as Full time drivers.
Utility Drivers, deliver, pickup,
air pick ups, shuttle...they do about everything and they are only paid starting driver wages, with no progression. So if you are a Utility Driver for say 20 yrs, you will only ever make starting driver wage.
This is something that the Union needs to change in the new contract. Other wise UPS will just continue to use Utility Drivers and abuse them for low pay.

Stealing work from FT delivery drivers at a much lower rate. Who allowed this in the contract?

A tool for the company, the worst driving job there is here. I was one for two years before going full time RPCD. It's basically UPS driver purgatory.

Taking massive stinkies in the truck? | FedEx Discussions

Sometimes duty calls and you have to deliver a giant stink log. I usually throw a trash bag (the ones they give us for wet weather) on top of my letter bin and push it out into the bag. Then just tie it and up and throw it out the window between stops. What do you guys do?

Not sure what local OP is in but here's the applicable language for my local regarding their pay

4.02 The Utility Driver rate of pay will be the start rate of a package driver pursuant to Article 41 Section 2(c) of the NMUPSA or the regular rate of the employee, whichever is greater.

In practice up here these are usually (or always from what I've seen) part time inside employees who are trained and qualified to drive and get used as all purpose cover drivers with no restrictions aside from DOT regulations. They do progress as whatever their "regular" job is so they could technically get a raise beyond starting driver pay if they happen to have a better regular job than a basic part time classification or if they receive an MRA big enough but I haven't heard of either happening.
