So if a higher seniority cover decides he wants it tuesday you're SOL?
It's a free for all everyday for cover guys around here.
Sometimes you don't even know what you're running till after PCM.

It says bids a route or is assigned a route. If you run a route on Monday of a guy on vacation you were just assigned that route

I hear you, but it seems like it's just badly worded language man.

"Seniority will be considered when making work assignments for drivers not holding a bid route" is the language in the southern.

Then the 9.5 language says: (2) the employee bids or is assigned to cover a route for a full week but is prevented from completing that bid or assignment due to reassignment by the employer.

So what if the employer isn't the one that is responsible for the reassignment, it's a higher seniority driver deciding he likes a different route on Tuesday then he did on Monday. The employer follows the contract language and takes seniority into consideration and lets him have the the route you were on Monday.

So now that you're moved to a different route, was it the employer who prevented you from completing that assignment or the higher seniority driver exercising his seniority?

Yes because the employer allowed an employee to bump you when they had no right to.


It all comes down to the BA though.

That's why it says or is prevented from
Running.


I know reading is hard in bama but come on.

We don't bid on routes for a week.....

 

[dookie stain]

You're assigned daily...if a guy goes on vacation there isn't one guy who's gonna do the route all week it could be 2 it could be 5 guys

Then management prevented you from running the route for the week.

It's all right there in the contract language.

its bad contractual language

 

[Brownslave688]

its bad contractual language

It's not ideal but it's only as bad as the BA enforcing it.

If your working that late then there is something seriously wrong with your center.

Does a center without serious issues even exist at today's UPS? I've never seen or heard of one.

Truck break down?

Rain+ bald rear tires+ rural dirt road s + working out of a rental truck = teh sux

1800.GO.BUDGET

box trucks suck without a cutaway/ pass thru from the cab to the cargo...

+ covering a huge area 170~200 miles, where there's 3-4 brownie drivers until peak season arrives. Then, my miles drop to 70/day...

Today no rain, similar load, but finished before dusk

Ahhh, the rear tires act like racing slicks today!

Yeap, my subcontractor is el cheapo capitan
