reply to texas t6, I live in ohio and we have emissions testin here, if the trucks are runnin poorly , you will get excess fumes into the cabs and they will make you sick. We also found the little vent doors on the back will let exhaust in,, you may want to play with them as to which way you have them opened. I work in the VMF and fumes have always been a problem with these trucks. Ask your VMF if they have a gas analyzer that they can run the truck on to see how the exhaust gases are, there is certain limits they have to be within for epa regulation. If they are out of spec this maybe part of your problem. Hope this was helpful |  | |

Our LLVs are emitting quite a bit of exhaust and they are causing headaches to the left rear side of the carriers' heads. Does or has anyone else complained about this problem? When we complain, we are told that the vehicle has to be driven as is till the engine dies. How can we test how much exhaust is too much? How will this exhaust affect us now and in the future? We are to the point that we're going to submit safety forms on these vehicles. Our only way of dealing with this now is by stepping out of the vehicles to breathe fresh air and clear our heads. Any advice will help.

I need advice. i have been an unassigned regular since may 2009.i received a letter on my time card saying i was awarded a residual assignment accorded to Article 39.2.A5 of the CBA.No bid was posted,i was not offered the assignment. no one asked me if i wanted the assignment.i spoke with no one about it.I am the most senior unassigned regular TTO!There are 3 other drivers that are unassigned regs one being the ex craft president who is acting (literally) as a shop stewart since he lost the last election. he is junior to me by 5yrs. the others are junior to him.recently the #1 TTO retired.I know for a fact i was assigned the bid that i did not want so the ex pres could get the choice assignment.I went to the local president when i got wind of this action and accused the ex pres and management of collusion to prevent me from getting the choice assignment! I have strong evidence that I was wronged!The ex craft pres and the local pres are friends.i filed the grievence myself and gave it directly to the local pres to handle.I have a timestamped copy.if no action is taken by the local pres what is the next step for me? should i use the NLRB? Management let it be known that they will abolish the choice schedule if i continue to make waves.this situation sucks! what recourse do i have?

Curious.....it means... a distributor-less ignition system was installed instead of the distributor-cap-rotor button setup. When they reference scanner, they are refering to an automotive diagnostic scanner..NOT ur mail scanner LoL

We seem to be in a loosing battle to keep MVS as a craft. They are all ready telling MVS supervisors to sent runs up in contractor format. We were all set up by upper management for failure, crap trucks that are costing more in repairs than there worth. Not being able to hire PTFs paperwork being held at the area level, driving up Overtime and Penalty OT costs with summer vacations. Not being able to hire casuals at good rate of pay that's set at 12 an hour with all the flexible hours that these people have to work they should be paid more. But no one wants the job for that money with no benefits. So when all is said and done and everything is weighed against MVS vs Contractor guess who going to get the work.
