So today we began adhering to the new language regarding seniority based preference on route scheduling. You have 5 minutes before start time to bump a lower seniority cover driver off a route you prefer to do.
Fortunately going forward will eliminate most of the day to day hassle of going to supervisors and requesting your preferred route. We already have a sign up sheet for next week's available routes. So most bids should be sorted for Mon/Tue scheduling except for unforseen call-outs. For this week, we are choosing our routes 5 minutes before.
Loving this new benefit already! As a high seniority cover driver, this is the greatest change in the new contract for me. Until now, we'd have new guys getting one of the best routes, and a 10 year driver getting stuck with a crappy route because they know it better.
