[QUOTE="LeddySS98, post: 1291761, member: 8574"] When I started driving it was the baseline RT, and it was also the training RT for new drivers... About 4 years ago they tweaked the RT and put the air loop on the tail end of it... So it ran appox 100 business stops /325 pcs, 25 miles...and then around 1430 I'd start the air run which had about 30 pickups/100miles... After adding the airloop to it they put the rt up for bid. So I bid it, but they bid it as a training rt, and I was told that whenever a new driver came in I would go back to being a cover driver while the new guy was in his 30 day packet. I ran the RT for about 2 years and then they decided to pull the air loop back off of it and go back to a air driver coming in for the afternoon and working a half day. I was told because it was bid as a training rt that they were allowed to make changes to it like that, and the shop steward told me they were right. When our volume dropped down or so thats the reason they gave us my 'new rt' without the air run on it, which was now 160+stops, 350 pcs, 2 p/u's, 50 miles would routinely be cut on Mondays and ran the rest of the week... When they got into a pinch and ran out of cover drivers, my rt was the first to get cut out and spread out to the surrounding drivers. The title of having training rt on it has opened up a whole can of worms... like not being able to claim other rts they put me on for 9.5s and what not. When I bid the rt it was in every day it had been since I started, but after it got bid and tweaked, and re tweaked and labeled ect ect... well then it became a whole new animal. [/QUOTE]
