Here in Montana we are paid .85 extra an hour to pull a third box(28', pup), aka-triples. First off, them paying us only .85 extra an hour to pull a third box that makes them thousands of dollars and we only get a few bucks extra a day is absurd and why we have never challenged this stronger in our past contracts is strange to me. Other companies pay "premium" pay for triples and rockies and in states that allow, turnpike doubles. Why does UPS not pay us for pulling Rocky sets? Any LCV requires a special permit and therefore we should be compensated for pulling such equipment that requires a special permit and we should be paid well over .85 an hour, again because the are making thousands extra on us pulling that extra equipment which should be considered hazardous. Thoughts? Any word on what the new contract might have on this issue?
