Have you talked to your Sup? Let him know you wouldn't mind have a day here or there off?

Why? If you use your optional day you'll be paid to not work. Otherwise you're losing money because you want to be sent home.

Well for one he should be asked not just sent home so I don't understand how he would be angry. It's seniority

Angry might not have been the proper word to use. He's complaining about not being sent home, I'm guessing he'd complain if he were being sent home instead of the other people. I just say this because we have people like this at my center.

We are allowed to take request off days. If someone with lower seniority who knows the route you are working is being sent home you can request the day off, and have that person cover your route. Also, in my local, show up pay is a consideration. If a lower seniority person is being sent home, he should get 4 hours for showing up, and with more seniority you ought to be able to bump him and get paid for doing nothing.
Drivers can request the day off (without pay) and management will make it happen if there are drivers not working. Otherwise it usually only comes up if a higher seniority driver hears that a lower seniority driver is being sent home, or if the lower seniority guy needs to work for whatever reason, they'll ask if anyone wants to go home.

I was offered off three days this week and will still put in over 50 hours with both jobs.

Same thing is happening at my hub. I haven't had a perminent route since before Thanksgiving, and I'm been bounced around between two different pens. Yesterday I was told to go home after working for 30mins. I said I wanted to work, full time supe said, "just go home, you're aren't needed". Still learning the ropes of the contract, she told me I should've said I wanted to work even though I did and they never bothered to go by seniority. So we'll see what happens on Monday. She's gonna get an ear full from our shop steward.

Deranged lunatic
I am in the same boat: You might be able to go 1 step further and use the "prior past practice" clause in the western rider to get your old permanent pull back. I am doing this next Monday because my drivers are getting bothered now that random people have loaded their trucks for the past 2 weeks.

I am low in seniority and have been getting the day off (not sure) but a senior driver could force me to take there route. Read your contract. I know if I am on the schedule I can get show up pay for being there, and I can bump anyone lower than me so I can drive. If you want to drive every day find the section on seniority or something related to ypur issues. The more you know the more you grow!!!

@Brown Down, you're wrong, but thanks for the input.
