Not in NE. It goes by hours.I see. They replaced the split or cover Ft language to this Pt crap. That sucks bass. The other question I have is you have to wait until you go Ft before you can get a pension credit?

I guess every local is different. My buddy's local language states that if working in the bldg. he can get paid what the highest paid loaders rate is. Sounds like some locals didn't get that in their language.Not in NE. It goes by hours.
What if you are a cover driver, and you bid a route and stay on for a couple of years and then bid off to split do you stay Ft.Where I'm at it's a little sketchy...if you get hired on as a FT driver, you're a cover driver until you get a bid route. But more often than not, you get laid off. And if you're laid off, you're laid off. Can't go back into the building. Then, there are Utility drivers. They're PTers that are Saturday qualified or just plain ol' qualified and drive and the Utility rate...currently 24.60 an hour. No 9.5 rights. OT after 8...unless you start your day pt and then go utility driving, then it's OT after 5. I use to do this all the time when I was on preload.
My local is the same.But I'm asking about Pt time cover drivers.I think we're getting our terms mixed. It may be a regional difference. If you're a FT cover driver, the days you work are determined by volume and seniority. Mondays are slow for us so there's always heavy layoffs. There are some low seniority drivers that have bid routes. They have them because those routes suck and are back breakers. However, it is seniority rules. If there's no work, you could be bumped out of your route by a higher seniority cover driver. I know it seems sketchy, but union is seniority rules. And yes, if you bid off to be a cover driver, you stay fulltime.
Once you're FT, they can't put you back to PT. I don't know what you mean by bid off to splitWhat if you are a cover driver, and you bid a route and stay on for a couple of years and then bid off to split do you stay Ft.
