I agree. Our PT air drivers very seldom run a ground route. Usually just pull some stops off or help with some pick ups. Most will turn it down unless forced. Not like some areas that have PT temp drivers that run routes everyday for months.

I do!
Oddly enough, that was exactly the question before the arbitrator. Were the misloads an unforseen exception, or, do we "know we're going to have misloads every single day" and should plan for them.
I thought the new labels was supposed to eliminate misloads.
We don't have the labels everywhere yet. Whaddya do if yesterday's label is stuck somewhere on the equipment (look around any SPA machine. There are some obstacles to work on...
I'm just saying they're very expensive it's approximately 10 times the cost of the regular labels
This is why Sean took your pension money. And he will take more. Seethe and dilate
Wait, you can’t grieve an on-road sup doing a route because they scheduled too many vacations? That’s bs
Yep you can file
You can file but you won't win if there is no other alternative. Like using a PT air driver or even any PT riding along and paying him top driver rate for the day.
Management will tell you you can't win to dissuade you from filing a grievance.
Just sharing my experiences.
No other alternative? Pretty easy to send a lower seniority package car driver back out, or tell a driver to come back and get them. Seen it done before, relatively often. Many simple alternatives, really.
Not really that simple. Ask from the top and force from the bottom and most of our bottom seniority delivery drivers are already out past 9PM.
