A driver working inside gets inside rate after working inside for 7 working days.
Happened to me, 10 other guys I got laid off with, the guy who was inside for a year while his liscense was suspended, and the two laid off feeder drivers we have now. Although as long as the feeder guys have been here their pay only dropped 2 bucks

Wow.
He is a driver. He works reload until 10pm. Starts his next shift on preload at 0600. If they ask him to drive he can not do it because he did not have a 10 hour break between shifts.
Try n keep up

No. They said "your off the road. There is no routes for you. So you have to work at least one shift if you want a job"

Thanks for googling that for me
14-Hour Limit
May not drive beyond the 14th consecutive hour after coming on duty, following 10 consecutive hours off duty. Off-duty time does not extend the 14-hour period.
It doesn't matter what he is doing for the first four hours he can not drive if he has not had 10 hours off between shifts

File a seniority grievance saying " being told to work split shifts while lesser employees are allowed to drive"

Well they're definitely trying to keep my pay rate on the inside rate, to help their numbers I guess. But they haven't given me a hard time about having 8 hours yet.

Yeah I should say that. Filed two so far, and they say even if I send them in, they will get denied because of my 10 hour rule. Still worth a shot.

We won all those grievances

If your stewards told you that then they suck. 10 hour rule shouldn't matter. If drivers with less seniority than you are working then that should be an easy win for you on the grievance.

I hear ya. Well We sent it in, so we will see what they say when it comes back. If it's denied I'll just appeal it or whatever and have them do it again.

Were you ever topped out as an air driver? The reason I ask is because it might help. In these situations one would think that a laid off full-time driver could work preload and bump a part-time air driver afterwards to get 8 hours. Or close to it. Or bump a PM Air Driver. I've never seen that done but if possible the laid off driver would at least get topped out air driver pay (unless the 7 day pay cut rule had already reset, in which case you'd be at full-time driver pay again) for all hours on road instead of hub/building pay. I don't have my contract handy at the moment but I don't remember it specifically stating that we couldn't bump air drivers and were limited to only bumping inside. It might hint at that though. I might go dig it out and read it now because I'm getting curious.
