Preload question!! Being on call.

[Upsee]

If it's only a year good for you. Never heard of any building only being a year.

Where you at. I know a few people that would love to transfer there.

I don't think I can say that, then it can easily be figure out who I am if there is someone local.

Thank you all for kind answers and words of wisdom, we can officially close this thread now.

I wouldn't wait on anything 8 years, wait time is about a year currently. I ll drive summer and peak in the mean time which now counts towards your progression.

Close? We're just getting started!

Just had a Preloader/TCD where I work with less than 1 year seniority get a full time cover driver bid. Prior to him getting the bid, the wait was 6+ years.

Are you saying they hired him as an outside hire? If that's the case I know in my local there would be 100 people filing on that.

Keep me on until I become a driver! I am awesome but let's not brag about it too much..

If you're so awesome....why are you on call for preload?

You should go into management.

We have enough unreliable people already.

Same exact thing just happened in my building. The guy even got a bid route!

It's a crap shoot. They told me 5-6 years. 20 months later I was a FT driver.

My first year as a local sorter they put a bid up for 3 full time cover positions. Everyone said at the time it was the first bid in 7-8 years so I assumed the wait could be that or even longer. Now 4 years into my career, I have officially been driving a year as of today. Only 36 more to go.

If you are on call and if they call you early a.m. and you don't hear the phone or you fail to answer for whatever reason. Can any action be taken against you? Thanks

Yes.

Hope this helps.

Works for me, I don't wanna be too reliable.

With that type of positive attitude you'll probably be asked to become a PT Sup.

You should go into management.

^ damn he beat me to it.
