Now i have to hussle and grind on days im not on a route any tips cause im low on the totem pole. Should i ask drivers in my particular group if they want off for the day or work local sort? What should a rookie do
Show up in uniform everyday whether you're scheduled to drive or not. Eventually you won't have to look for people who want the day off, they'll be on you like vultures.Now i have to hussle and grind on days im not on a route any tips cause im low on the totem pole.

ya quit while you are ahead. collect that welfare check and food stampsjust quit
How does this even work? When I was a TCD we had a seniority list of qualified drivers that had to be followed. If someone below me would have worked I would have grieved it and been paid.

Since you are now qualified trust me after dealing with management for some time you're going to want days off.Show up in uniform everyday whether you're scheduled to drive or not. Eventually you won't have to look for people who want the day off, they'll be on you like vultures.
High seniority driver doesn't want to work that day. Young gun wants to work.
So we let the high seniority driver go home for the day. He wins, because he didn't want to work that day. We let the young gun work. He wins, too, because he gets to earn and gain experience. And the company wins as well, because it costs less in total payroll (usually) and we've grown the talent base of the younger driver.
The high seniority driver could certainly grieve, but nearly every driver (including stewards) are aware of what went down, and the high seniority driver also knows that grieving would end this opportunity for them in the future, since seniority gives you the right to work, not the right not to work.
If the high seniority driver wants to work, though, they get to work. That's how it works (pun intended) as per the contract.
