Extra board here at least my DC(Tobyhanna as well), you had a regular 5/2 schedule as an extra board driver...x-board just meant that you don’t have an assigned truck and will be shifting around trucks, sometimes multiple times in your 5 days. 3. Set runs, called “exception runs”, are few and far between. You get to bid once a year and the bids are more for your schedule/program..the exception runs are snagged up by the senior drivers. When openings happen from resignations/retirements/new programs, they will be posted and you can sign up for them. They are awarded through seniority. 4. You will more than likely never be more than 1-2 stops ahead, and sometimes you will do a run to a store and not have another move by the time you get there. There is no rhyme or reason to where you go and will change by the day/week. You may come in on this weeks shift out of Toby and end up in Maine, next week down in DE/VA and the following week back and forth to Toby/Pottsville all week on runs.[/QUOTE]
