How did it go for you?

How can you get bumped off a route you successfully bid?

Someone above me their route got changed more than 50% or eliminated or something along those lines. It was a pretty ty move by the guy and he pissed a lot of people off when he did it. Someone turned around and did the same thing to him after he’d been on the route like 3 weeks.

Some places have an annual bid

Okay. I heard about that for feeders. But had no idea some supplements/centers allow/execute annual RPCD route re-bids

Local 25 Boston ,, a biannual bid ,, used to be annual , you bid anything your qualified for !
Feeder jobs a bit different , you need to have a CDL and be qualified by a sup to bid
Yes you can get bumped around in feeders .,, if they change a start time or a leg on your bid rte or cut the rte ,. The ball starts rolling and a sr guy can bid it , you cannot bid a feeder job that goes to a. Airport until you acquire a badge from airport security , hope this answers your questions. !!

Just don't understand how people don't go to meetings or vote on a contract.

A map, a compass, a pat on the back and good luck. Ahhh, the good ole' days.

On paper clipboard , here's a map , don't miss any stops or pick ups and don't hit anything ,,, now get going ! Lol that was our training! Right !

You give a monkey enough bananas , they could drive the automatic new feedahs ,, just see @over9five

The automatics are harder to drive than the manuals. The transmissions are so heavy duty, you press the accelerator and 4 seconds later it actually starts to move.

What's behind you is not important

For real. In my 8 cube parked in a dock. 53 footer backed right into me. Came out of his cab and said oh did I hit you after his trailer scratched the whole side of my package car. On road came out took some pictures and our mechanic said it just needed a bit of paint so it wasn't an accident
