That is pretty much what I assume to be true.
No discipline for going back out after in for the night...

Actually I have been FT for 2 years and seasonal 2 years and air driver. Which yea I know isn't a lot of time, but are you saying since I don't have much seniority I shouldn't know my rights? Being that management likes to take advantage of us thinking we don't know our rights and they can have us to whatever they please?
35years

The way it sounds is that perhaps they backed down in forcing me back out because they would have to offer the extra work by seniority before they forced me. Anyone returning to the bldg before me would be available and present. So perhaps they can force the least senior driver still punched in.

What I am saying is a 35 year driver will get a lot more respect than one with less than 5 years.

I guess I missed that part in the contract that says management doesn't have to follow the contract for those drivers under 5 years..

I never said that. What I said is if it came down to you or me going back out you can bet that it wouldn't be me.

You poor guy, it's just not your year. First the Pirates suck then the 9.5 problems now forced to go out again. I'm sorry I feel some what responsible since it's my Cubs contributing to your woes.
It's the Cubs. Everyone knows how it ends for those losers.

60 minutes? I wouldn't even be in the area by then. This is simple math. If you are forced to go out, make sure they know that you are the LAST person they want to send out to run one stop. I'd make them remember the night they sent me back out for one stop. It's probably dark. It's probably an unfamiliar area. I'd probably circle every street in the neighborhood just to be SURE I had the right address. After all, you don't want to get written up for a mis-delivered package. Even if you have to knock on seven or eight houses to be sure. You're a professional. Show your management team how seriously you take your job.

That's because we all went to feeders. We usually work a click or two under 60 hours.

I'm in the central and I've been told by my steward that you only have to do the work that they put in your truck and they can't force you to do anymore than that. I have had several occasions where they asked me to go help someone. Somedays I'm willing and some days not. If I'm not in the mood I say sorry can't do it and they move on. Never had any issues when I refused.

You are much better off to ignore/play dumb or even punch and run than to turn the Diad radio off.
Here's how that conversation would go:
center manager: I sent you a message
You: I didn't get it
center manager: yes you did, here's the ODSe export showing that I sent it
You: I turned the Diad radio off
center manager: that's tampering with company equipment and falsification of records here's your notice of discharge.
With a decent Labor Manager presenting it it could be a pretty good case. I suspect you would get your job back but no back pay. Generally the company considers that a win because you got hit in the wallet.
Work as instructed. Failure to do so is "gross insubordination" and is hard to defend. Get on the 9.5 list and collect triple time.
I was joking. That's something we always tell our sup.
