Sitting at home, and getting paid...hmmm, yes that sounds great.
The reality of the situation is that you will be used. Reserve isn't what it used to be at UPS ten years ago, where you had 30 guys sitting on RSVA, and two got used. There are far fewer bodies sitting reserve now, and your odds for getting called are pretty good.
As of right now, there are a total of 5 guys on RSVA in ONT. Three are on trips, one is sick, and the last one is unassigned (probably since it's his last day). RSVB has 2 guys on call, and they're both on trips. RSVC has 2 guys on call, one is on his break day, and the other has a trip scheduled for the 29th. RSCP has 2 guys on call, one is sick, and the other is on a trip. That's the reality of reserve in ONT.
