Laguna is wrong that TCD are a second tier drivers. They are a part time position with a path to full time. They only get paid 85% top pay yes, but they get to keep that pay rate after becoming a RPCD. If they get 156 reports in a year, the company has to add a new RPCD. They dont have to drive everyday if they dont want to. But I still dont like TCD, simply because UPS abuses the language and uses them way more then is allowed contactually.
So why would anyone want to allow 22.4s, that you know UPS are going to be abused and used in ways not intended by the new language. With 22.4s you have essentially created another hurdle for part timers. Because there are still going to be TCDs...still have to cover vacations, sicknesses, work comp,call ins, not only for RPCDs but for 22.4s as well. So TCDs will work weekends sometimes. And after paying your dues as a part timer, and then as a TCD, now you will have the opportunity to get
#@ED even more as a 22.4 until a RPCD job opens. Since 22.4s and RPCD are both full time positions, the only path to driving for a TCD will be through 22.4.
