Q: does picking up OT / JA get treated the same as picking up off the trip board in this scenario?
- Dropping trips below 50% original line credit value nullifies guarantee (thus buffer), leaving only line credit to be factored in pay.
Q: what happens to guarantee / buffer if one picks up to get back above 50%?
Q: If I do a trip trade with OT that results in less credit (assuming we are under a buffer scenario) is this treated the same as dropping credit via the trip board?
If anyone knows the answers to these questions offhand, TIA. If not, I’ll dig into it and post what I find.
JA is paid over 75. OT on the other hand you are working for free until you credit 75. Example original line credit of 70 fly as scheduled get paid 75. Pickup 10 hrs, get paid 80 not 85.
For the last question you can’t trade for less credit only equal to or more.
As far as coming to UPS with the intentions of dropping trips I would say you are better off elsewhere. UPS has a ton to offer schedule flexibility is not at the top.
