Pulled from route

[542thruNthru]

I could swear that I saw verbiage in the new contract saying something along the lines of if you are pulled from your route to cover another that you were entitled to a 2hr pay compensation added to whatever you worked that day. I have my own route and am not a coverage driver.

What region/rider are you under. I remember some language like that but it might be regional. Need more info to help you.

It's not "an emergency" for drivers to go out in the blind. Come on, they have map navigation. So they cant use that excuse. Should've filed the first day not weeks later. Where is your steward???

 

[ManInBrown]

We are 8 drivers short in my center and I know the area that they needed to be covered very well. The new coverage drivers do not. Or so management says

Not your problem. Here they cant do it. They dont even bother asking.

File on what?

 

[542thruNthru]

File on what?

Here it would be on the bid language. I'm sure its different everywhere.

 

[allahuakbar]

They can’t force guys off their route here. In your case you’d be doing Management a favor and couldn’t file for anything.

Thank you @govols019
I remembered hearing it before but didn't remember the region.

Bidding weekly? Who's bright idea was that.

Almost as bad as bidding start times! @MyTripisCut

Bidding vacations/disability/fmla

Not bidding all routes weekly.

 

[OKLABob]

My center for the coverage drivers they can bid routes for the week and run the route that a bid driver has while he’s on vacation. If no drivers on vacation all coverage goes unassigned.

Yah, I mean I’m cover, I have no idea about drivers that have routes.

What does that entail if you are bumped from your own route?

Technically, I have a bid route, but it’s a split route and isn’t always in. It’s classified as a ‘training route’, so the end result is I run it 30% of the year.

There’s no ground for me to file on when they stick me in another town on someone else’s route.

It’s a pickle.

Sht is gonna get strange when the 22.4’s are fully implemented...

Yeah sounds like you are at the mercy of a few different Articles. Being a cover and a training route all at once has to be tough.

What region?

I believe he's New England being that he lives just outside boston.

 

[UnconTROLLed]

One thing is, if you are on a training route..

 

[BrownArmy]

I enjoy being cover, but the nonsense is deafening.

Might have to bid a proper route...

For all intents and purposes, I’m a cover driver.

Yeah....from what I hear the cover drivers seem to like it.
