No unless your route is a training route
Is the driver running your route less senior than you?

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
File every time you are bumped off if you want to run it. I am bid vacation coverage and I have had to file many times to be allowed to run the route that I bid for the week.
Lack of planning on their part does not constitute an emergency on your part.

In our supplement we have this language installed:
ARTICLE 48 - Seniority
Section 7 - Bidding
*4. Package drivers shall be given the preference to select in their classification in the building, based on seniority, permanent vacancies, or when a permanent new area is established. The change is to be made within thirty (30) days unless extenuating circumstances apply.
In the event of an emergency or possible service delay, the Company may temporarily reassign the driver another area within the center but it is the Company’s intention that the cover drivers or junior drivers will cover runs unless desired by a senior employee. Full time bid package car drivers cannot be forced from their bid route more than seven (7) days per year. Forced shall not include a mutual agreement or when a bid area is temporarily eliminated.

File. They will continue to take advantage of you as long as you let it slide. I had the same thing happen to me years ago, and they didn't stop till I forced the issue.
Kmart sux. So does Walmart. And Orion.

Nope. Nor am I a steward. Just a well educated Teamster. I have entertained the idea of being a steward but I don;t want everyone else's problems. Nor do I want to protect those who I know aren't the most innocent.

Check your supplement first. Like I said, this is the supplement in my area, Central PA.
Good luck!

You were a coverage driver for a long time. You've proven you can do that. management gets in a bind with too many routes and not enough drivers...hmmmmm jled knows every route, let's break it off in him today. And keep breaking it off until he stands up to us. You've been here 9 years, surely you know how the cow eats the cabbage at this outfit. The only way to get their attention is to start getting them to write checks for their screw ups.

Our new center manager has stated several times during PCMs that we can be "asked" to cover routes other than our own as the situation dictates. He has forced several lower seniority bid drivers to jump but has yet to try this with any of the older guys.
