Nope...we dont have swing drivers

If they are telling you that you could be covering 2 centers, they are saying, "If you want to work this summer, you will have to be available at both centers, otherwise you will not work everyday."

Everyone will have more seniority than you.

 

[Sebastianss]

Okay thanks just wanna be able to work everyday

Do you mean you just don't call them "swing" drivers. We don't call then that either but they are cover drivers which every center has to have. All cover drivers are full time in all my local centers. We are all guaranteed to work everyday.

Otherwise, how would any bid driver ever get a day off?

They are not guaranteed to work

Yes that what I am but they told me I'm full time not part time

You would cover vacations. If they have no work you would have to work a shift inside the building. No you wouldn't drive every day. It takes a few years and a few more guys under you to work everyday

We're a self load no pre load

You said you were hired off the street. You are a seasonal hire. You will only work when needed and you have no seniority.

Sorry.

There's 20 guys including me 15 of them pare over 20 years also so I'd imagine lot of vacation time?

No lm not seasonal they specifically told me

 

[Sebastianss]

Idk I leave for intergard Sunday I'll find out after that what I got myself into lol

 

[cosmo1]

No lm not seasonal they specifically told me

That only really means that you will work "some" during vacation time, get laid off and come back (hopefully) at peak.

I have no idea what the free period is in your local, but during it you will accrue no days toward seniority.

Best of luck to you.

Hope this helps.

We only have temps in December. Our local only adds drivers (all FT) when there is space for a permanent FT driver.
