[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1135763, member: 12570"] There is no contractual ratio of the number of FT drivers to TCD (casual) drivers but generally it is around 10%. The proper use of casuals (running extra routes) should help to reduce excessive OT but will not eliminate OT altogether. Casuals are not guaranteed to work every day nor are they entitled to the daily guarantee. Casuals are supposed to call each morning, if not told they would be working the previous day, to see if they are needed NLT 1 hour before start time. A smart casual will learn the routes of the older drivers as they are most likely to want a day off here and there. When I was a casual not scheduled to work I would come in ready to work and approach the older drivers to see if any of them wanted to go home----9 times out of 10 it worked. This is no longer allowed so what our casuals do now is text those drivers who like to take days off to see if any of them want the day. Our PDS doesn't care who works just as long as he has proper staffing. Casuals, if used properly, are an asset. [/QUOTE]
