[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 814545, member: 18044"] You have the right to bid on any available job (new or vacant) as stated in Article 22, Section 4. Any job you like is a "perferred" job. Although only some jobs will pay the extra dollar an hour. - - - - Another way to tackle your problem might be to determine if the tractor-trailer you're loading is over the federal weight limit. Perhaps a feeder driver or supervisor with more knowledge than I can address this issue. My understanding is the entire rig may not exceed 80,000 pounds, and there are other weight limitations per axle, at the couppling point, and if the rig will be going over a bridge. Check the sticker on the outside nose of the trailer for weight data. If you scan each package, check to see how many total packages you loaded in each trailer. You can have the Union report the matter to UPS and/or the Government if your calculations indicate that any vehicle is illegally overloaded.
