being sent to another hub...

[olroadbeech]

So my main question is, is there any type of compensation to be had for being sent to work literally every day, out of another building/hub? Been being sent to one that is more than twice as far from home as my home center, it was cool at first because I wasnt getting many days as a new driver, but now its going on 2 months and its getting old commuting an hour each way every day (as opposed to 20 minutes).

in feeder if that happened I would punch in at my home hub and then go on paid travel to the other hub and work. then paid travel at the end of shift back to home hub and then punch out there.

big paycheck.

ha, just saw gears post. exactly right.

To the OP...Are there any people driving from your original home center with less seniority than you.

no.. well only trainees... but one is being sent there also, and the other is still doing his training route so cant do a different route yet, but he also has seniority from inside. otherwise im the low man right now.

i dont have a huge problem with it and yes it beats not working, i was just wondering if there was some sort of compensation for the extra travel time/distance.

Are you being sent from your home center, or being called and told to go there ahead of time? You should be paid from when you report to work. If it's the latter then tough .

Well at least you're working I guess.

You might talk to your steward and see if they can at least give you more notice. Technically you're supposed to know your start time 24 hours in advance, depending on your supplement. I'd say your start location should fall under that too, but who knows until you press the issue.

I bet there's a part timer at the other center who wishes he could be a driver and probably wouldn't be happy to know you're coming over there.....

Talk to your steward. You shouldn't be going to another center to work while someone with no seniority it driving out of your center.

When I was a new driver I was sent to a different center a few times. You should be paid for travel time. Are you going to your home center and driving a package car to the other one? Either way you should be paid from the time you leave your house till the time you get home. I'm pretty sure I was paid for travel time. I know a few times I went directly from home and a few times I drove to my center and drove a 5 cube there. I was definitely paid driving there when I drove the 5 cube. I can't remember when I drove my personal vehicle

I was asked my first year or so to go to another center also. I declined.

You might be entitled to mileage pay.

I occasionally had to 'cover' our satellite center, and i was paid mileage from my center. Although they did let
me use a PC on occasion which worked out better, since they had to pay me hourly while driving a company vehicle.
