They try to get the regular drivers out early so they can get them. I started early today to get one and got chewed out after I was rushed out of the building early for not taking all of my load. The sort wasn't even done when I was told to leave. Guess I wont be doing that any more they can get someone else.

slow but sure
We have a part-time bid air driver who delivers the EAM.
Where I am at, one of the Atlanta Hubs, I deliver EAMs. I bid on it a year ago, and two hours worth of work was taken off my regular route. We use eight full-time drivers and one Preloader, we have no combo jobs in our building. I start at 6:30 AM, and get off at 5 PM, when I hit nine-five. We only use PT air drivers to make late pickups.

We are are a combination of everything said so far. LOL. We are one of those centers that has a combo worker that is SUPPOSED to deliver air, to include EAMs, after preload but never does. Usually the EAMs are run by full-timers but sometimes a p/t cover driver working on preload will get them. When that happens they usually end up helping deliver regular NDAs too. Allot of our full-time drivers try and walk in the buildin right at start time to avoid being asked to run EAMs and the most of the ones that come in early refuse to.

It is considered "extra work" in our center. All full time drivers*. You are called in senority order. You have to be on the list to be called. They usually call at 6am or a little after to start at 730. *Except there are a couple bid runs in our center that have EAMs built in to their runs. On those runs, if the bid driver is off, a cover or swing driver takes it even though he has less senority.
Some days if you are called in, you can get as much as 13 hours. FWIW, the proctologist for our mgmt team stays busy because they get reocurrent injuries that have to be treated. I know that alot of the feeder drivers at the local hub arent happy unless they get 59.9999999999999 hours a week. It must be true when feeder drivers say they work for a different company. In pkg, that just wears you down, especially in the summer heat. I did almost 2600 hours last year.
I guess alot of it depends on commit times in each area or zip code. They know whats coming in and if something is not on the list when the air shuttle driver is at the airport, he is suppose to call the center so they can call another driver from the list. Sometimes they just get an air driver and thats when grievences are won.

they tried using Full time package drivers but I think they stoped doing it because they had trouble getting back to start their route on time-centers wouldn't pull anything
off their route. At our bldg we use 20-25 drivers and average
8-10 stops each. Its always been a Bid Air Job then as we needed more drivers the created combo positions

We use a mixture of combo drivers and full time drivers.
