Here is an interesting video on youtube.com on how not to run a union meeting. It is from the APWU Local 197 July 2007 meeting. Look how the President does not let the members do a motion when he does not like it. Here is the link for the video:

we have about 200 in Philly

Still about fifty drivers here! working 24/7

Were busy moving the mail!

Did you guys drive off the face of the earth or did contractors take over your jobs?

and while your waiting to be hired contact your local congressional reps and demand they support house resolution (h.r.) 4236 so there will still be a job waiting..for you.

What places in philly do they have MVO/TTOs working out of 30th street,iland ave,anyplace in the North East?

No not yet just filling out the appt, and yes I do have Class A.

Edited by author 01-11-2008 10:43 PM
did you get hired? Youll never be on call, they dont do that. If you get in youll probably be a PTF for about 2 years. But, if you have a class A youll get all the hours you want.

Just got my appt today for philly,going to fill out and sent back next week,how long do you do part time flexible?Is this for 90 days?

you start out as a sub filling in as a part time flexible. Tecnically they can send you home if theres no work but theres always work in Philly. I never got less than 40 hours when i was a ptf. Thats how it is here i dont know about other places.

What happens after your hire on as an TTO,are you an part time?on call?and what happens after your 90 days are up?

Yes, philly mvs works out of the P&DC on Island and Lindbergh in SW Philly. I dont know a thing about Bellmawr NJ. good luck

Its an big place over there off iland ave,how many drivers work out of there?I allso took the assessment test for Bellmawr NJ allso.Do you know anything about Bellmawr NJ?

we just hired like 10 drivers. If you get the offer take the job. Its sweet.

Hi just took the aessessment test online for MVO/TTO(philly pa)<<Got an 100 + 5 points Veterans bonus-that tops me off at 105.I know
its an waiting game now,but are there any MVO/TTO out there .I like
some info about the job,allso have 10 years in the navy how does this
time go into the postal service thank you.>>

What Is required to get a job driving one of the small trucks for a Post Office. I live in a small town and they haul there mail out in a small truck to a near by large city mail center. Does the USPS contract this out or what?

Veltri and Cundari both make their bitches do split shifts here in Philly.

I heared yesterday the Iranian contarctor here in Phoenix started out with 30 drivers and is now down to 6. The other drivers say he makes them work split shifts. Run 3 hours then go home, then come back later. I also heard he runs this contract out of his apartment in New Jersey. This is ruining our jobs, culture and country.

would someone out there know a person by the name of TOM CAST who works for the post office in colorado or chicago or maybe elsewhere...i think he has just retired..would love to get a hold of him... send me info by email to philou67@videotron.ca....i think he worked in the repair parcel department..i am not sure..very important...

Jason/Omaha,
No it is not true, all of it. Yes part of the West side was contracted with more possible to come. We still have just under 200 drivers with plenty of overtime.

Further, the last time they contracted here it cost them 2.2 million and we got the work back. In fact the PO here alone has lost over 35 million in grievances in the last two years alone.

A problem they have is promoting bums from within for supervisors who did not deserve it in the first place, but they surely discover they can en richen themselves by screwing others.

I am looking to buy and RHD vehicle. Does anyone have one for sale?

I am in Ohio, but am willing to travel for "the right deal."

MVSPedro /m179 -- that is good answer. This guy can do a good job by writing it up and getting it fixed so he doesn't waste time everyday. And ^*^*^ is not a Union Bastard.

rockhead /m180 -- ^*^*^ gave you a good answer /m177. What do you care about the model number of the trans. You make it shift on time by just writting the thing up and getting it fixed.

Good response rockhead. Keep doing whats right in your mind. Don't follow the pack of wannabes.

I'm not so much "worried" about making my street time as I am annoyed by having to sit and wait while my LLV decides if it will eventually move. I'm curious by nature and I just want to know if and how this tranny can be repaired quickly. The transmission works fine in all respects except for the delayed shifting problem. If the tranny needs to be replaced then I will ask for that to happen. But I'm not worried about any of this. I'm just curious and I want it fixed. Thanks for worrying about my work ethic. I'll try harder to be a stubborn dullard for the sake of the union in the future. Now back to my original question - Does anybody know the make/model number of the tranny or how to make this thing shift on time?

What kind of answer is that? Ka Ching. Is that all you Union Bastards think about, MONEY ?? Here this guy is trying to do a good job and get things fixed and you come up with the union motto,"more money for me and screw the post office" I'm sick of these stupid asses in these unions.

Steve you jumped ship , you should look at yourself first

rockhead, it is nice of you to worry about making your street time. On the other hand, have you ever heard the expression "cha-ching"? You are not responsible for getting that LLV fixed, other than notifying your supervisor that there is a problem with it. Tell your supervisor, then let him/her worry about it.

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but here is my situation - The transmission in my LLV is only two months old, but since the day that it was installed it does the following very annoying and time wasting thing - when the gear shift lever is moved into any gear (Drive, Reverse, Low...) the transmission will pause for exactly two whole seconds before it actually shifts into the chosen gear. You might be saying "so what?", but this is a really big deal for me on a hop'n'stop route. I have never had a LLV that did this and it is killing my street time. Does anybody know if there is something that can be done to make the tranny shift on time? Our local VOMA guy is a good guy, but he only does simple parking lot type maintenance and he doesn't really have an answer for me. Also, what is the make and model number of the transmission that is used in the LLV's? Thanks in advance for any help. Rockhead in Yuma, AZ.

Phx Mvs is going downhill fast. We are losing routes, we are hiring only casuals, and the new Supervisor is bringing in his buddies from outside of MVS to make us fail. They have no idea what our business is about.

 The Union here is a joke, I'm getting out. Every holiday we, are mandated, to show a high cost of operations and all we do is sit around with no work that needs to be done. This shows a high cost and contractors can do it cheaper.
 It's a joke here and steadily going downhill.
Here come those Mexican truck drivers !!

Does anyone know if we are eligible for bereavement or do we have anything like that?

Is it true in the Phoenix, Az. area. that Mvs used to have some two hundred usps drivers, but now they have contracted out most of the northern and eastern Phx routes to contractors and they are trying to cut it back to 100 or less.

I think your holddown is done brother. Youll probably have to pick one of the open jobs. Where are you located?

I'm a regular-flex employee - I've been on a hold down for a little over a year and love it. I was told that I'm going to be converted to a Regular-Employee status real soon. I was told by the employee who's hold down that I'm on - that he won' t be back until October 2008 (Military Service) I would like to keep this hold down and pass being a regular right now. Is there any way I can do this? That is pass being converted to a Regular Employee and pass it onto the next Regular-Flex Employee. (MVS Craft)(APWU)

email: prestige66@yahoo.com

Can someone help me understand why this is true. I will use a scenario to try to explain. Transportation categorizes drivers with MVO (Bomber) or TTO (Trailer) status. The facility I work out of has two (2) lists (one for TTO's and one for MVO's).

From what I understand, an employee with less time on the job and currently on a regular trailer run is able to out-bid someone with more time on the job and is on a regular bomber run?...

This makes NO sense.

For example:

Employee A is a bomber driver and has 15 years on the job.

Employee B is a trailer driver and has 2 years on the job.

Both have a CDL-A license, qualifying both for trailer work.

Yet...

Employee B (the current trailer driver with 2 years) gets preference to pick trailer jobs during reorg. over Employee A who has 15 years?????

Is this nationwide or only true in the facility I work at? Either way, I'm not sure why this is the case. Can someone share their thoughts?

Thanks!

I believe if you're collecting military pension, you basically go back to zero as far as federal time is concerned in a new position.

1st 90 days, PTF city carrier, retired military. My stub says I accure leave/sick at the 3 hour rate. I thought my 21 years military counted for more vacation time. I know I can't double dip on the pension. Do I not accure at a higher rate?

Hi all. I'm a PTF for 6 months now, and i love this job. My question is , i was in a small accidence in a 2-ton couple days ago. What happen was while i was pulling out of the loading dock, i scraped the 2-ton next to me, and cracked his passenger side window. My supervisor then immediatly suspended 2-ton license, and i have to go to the Driver's traning unit for safely classes next week.
   Does anyone know what the "classes" is consist of?? Safely video?? or something more serious like interview with a traning instructor?? What's the worst that this could happen to me?? Thanks in advance!!

hey guys, anyone know what a level 9 or 10 will upgrade to under the new contract on Feb 2008? on page 22 table 3 the level 6 upgrades to 7, 7 to 8, 8 to 9, it skips 9 and 10, then 11 moves to 10 and 12 to 11. let me make it clearer before i confuse myself.

old>new
3>4
4>5
5>6
6>7
7>8
8>9
11>10
12>11

under this, I would assume that old levels 9,10,and 11 would move to the new 10?????
anyone know??? thanks

Why new forums? simply because PEN does not own our current forums - they are owned by Quick Topic. This limits our ability to manage the forums - not only that, but we must pay Quick Topic for use of these forums. We own our new forums. Please give them a try. In the near future we may cease using Quick Topic forums altogether.

got experience, just put in a transfer to the local MVS in your area on ereassign. I did it, no interview or anything, after being a city carrier for 2 years. Ask the drivers that deliver to your station who to call to get the ball rolling. Greatest job in the post office!

at least 40 here in Philly as an MVO PTF

Anyone in the Dallas area that can help me.. I'm looking into the MVO PTF position and wondering if it's true you only get 36 hours per week (if that)?

I am soon to start work as a rural motor carrier. I am wondering if there is someplace that makes a right hand drive conversion kit for my car. Preferably one that is easily removed when not in service as this is also the car I take the family out in. Though my Mrs. might enjoy having the brake and gas pedal at her disposal lol. Please let me know at
lupineankh13@aol.com.
                          Thanks
                           John Egner

Craft senioity is the day your transfer is accepted. Postal or service time is the date you were originally hired by the USPS. For instance, I was a carrier for 2 years then transferred to MVS 6 months ago. I kept my company time for my pension, leave, and progressive pay status. Just started as a PTF on the bottom of the list, which is 10 times better than being the highest on the list of any carrier if driving is your thing. hope this helps

in mvs what is the difference between craft senority and job senority and what is each used to determine?where can i read about it in the contract ? everyone has a opinion but no one can back it up .thanks

Edited by author 09-13-2006 10:40 PM
I got in Philly 5 months ago with a Class B. I had 2 years as a carrier and 8 years driving experience prior to that with Class B experience. We have mostly 7 tons, maybe where you're looking they're all trailer jobs. With a Class B youd work either Tour 1 or Tour 2 (300 or 1100). Tour 3 is all tractor work. Good luck

I made an inquiry about getting in as an mvo and I was told by a motor vehicle supervisor that "technically" you need a class A and 6 months of tractor trailer experience to get in. Does anyone know what he meant by technically, is their anyway I can get in with a B. Also, what are the hours like, if I get in would I be working 1st, 2nd and third shifts 7 days a week as a mvo ptf ?

I am a FTR TTO here in St.Louis. Best job in the P.O. !!!
anyway I was a PTF for 1 1/2 years before making FTR. You time may vary due to size of your MVS, and age of the drivers, here in STL we have quite a few drivers that are planing to retire in the next few years.

:/m147 Im a PTF MVO and it beats being a regular city carrier any day of the week. Here in Philly its about 2 years

Don't know if it's the norm, but around here MVS drivers are PTFs for a long time....5,6,7 years

:/m145 MVS WILL train you, on the clock, for your Class A once you transfer and are accepted. All you need is Class B to get in. At least thats all I needed to get into MVS. There is no darkside, carrying that bag was work, this is a skilled position in the eyes of the PO. Barely any labor just a lot of driving, and no time requirements like carrying.

Edited by author 09-06-2006 06:43 PM
I have been a ptf carrier for a little more than 6 months, I am thinking of getting into the motor pool. I have my CDL B so I know I would have to go get my A, but does anyone know if the post office will help me get the training for the A?? Also I was wondering what the darkside to being a postal driver might be. I don't want to be out of the frying pan and into the fire.

I would like to buy a postal jeep for my rural route. Where would be the best place to look for one to buy, or how can i find out when the post offices are selling them?

Burnsy,I had to carry for 18 months, plus 90 days more when my PM held me, before I could transfer. My advice is to tough it out, put in the transfer on the date you hit 18 months because MVS is this greatest job in the post office.good luck

Burnsy, I am not sure of the transfer so soon, besides you have to wait for an opening in the MVS where you are. once you are accepted in MVS they would give you a refresher. How much exp do you have driving trucks????

My advise would be continue as a carrier until you find an opening in MVS.

Hey all, I could use some advice. I'm in the beginning part of my probationary period as a city carrier, and I'm thinking maybe this is not the job for me. I possess a CDL Class A and would like to know if it is possible to transfer before my 90 days is up. My license is clean, but I haven't driven a semi in about seven years. Do I need to take a refresher course on my own or will the postal service train me? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

   I was wondering if anyone has been haveing problems haveing the vmf repair the new Mack trucks under warrenty? I wrote up a repair order proir to going on al for 2 weeks expecting that every would be repaired when I returned to work. Well surprize nothing was repaired and this is a vechile with less then 10,000 miles. Is there any one out there who is familier with the warrenty on this latest batch of new tractors. Thanks

A mail carrier friend of mine recently bought a 1984 AMC FJ-8C postal vehicle which needs a lot of work and some spare parts. Other than vehicle junkyards, what are some sources for replacement REAR BRAKE DRUMS, REAR BRAKE SHOES and a shop MANUAL for the FJ-8C? My friend is desperately trying to find these spare parts but does not have a computer so I have volunteered to help. (This is a revised version of message #137 posted within the past 30 minutes).

A female friend of mine who is a mail carrier, recently bought an old 1984 AMC FJ-8C (for mail delivery) which needs various parts replaced. Other than vehicle junk yards, what are other sources for spare parts for the FJ-8C, either new parts or used? Her husband has located several parts from junk yards but is desperate to find other needed parts. Since she does not have a computer, I am trying to assist her without having an ID# or part name!

mvo is level 6, like .40 an hour less. Sounds like i'm making the right move if Philly is anything like your DC. I was looking at the national and read that MVO/TTO are NOT required to work 7 days a week, but can volunteer. I already expect to work holidays being at the bottom of the list. But, with 3 years in already I still get 4 weeks AL, so that helps. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have been driving tractor trailers for 18 years, so I really cant say for sure. I have never been in any other craft. But from what I have seen I would have to say yes. what pay level is MVO? TTO are level 7.
we generally get as much over time as we want. or have the option of just running our route and going home after shift is over. also as a TTO you have the option to work all three tours.

Of course if you come in to a TTO spot as a PTF you will work the holidays, and sometimes will/can work seven days a week. So it has it's downside too.

hey trapman
Im assuming as a TTO you have more flexibility in routes you can take and the ability to make FTR quicker. I am in as MVO , July 8 to be exact, my present office held me as Im a carrier. Ill probably get my class A as soon as i can, as long as i get free training, I can drive anything just never got my A. In your mind is TTO a better spot than MVO?

Thanks so much!

< replied-to message removed by QT >

mvo convert,

It took me from dec 04, to may 06 so that's what a year and a half. of course I am a TTO not a MVO. your time may vary. here in STL we have about 120 FTR TTO's and about 20 PTF TTO's and 5 casual TTO's
Main thing here is waitimg for the olders guy's to retire.

trapman
how long did it take you to make FTR?

danss396,

This Union Steward that tells you this, Is he your craft director? do you have more than one steward on your tour???? If you can not get any action from the steward in your area try a different Union steward in another craft, like the clerk craft. If that does not work get in touch with your locals president. Man I thought we had some issues with our sup's here in STL. but you need someone enforcing the contact, not being buddies with the sup.

If No one is involved with being a steward, then get involved! become a steward, go to the meetings, get to know the contract!!!!!
I have been a union steward here in STL since I got my 1st 90 days in, I just made FTR as of today! in the MVS we have one steward on tour one, three plus the craft director on tour two, and two stewards on tour three. that is just in MVS.

I need some very needed info Our VMF is in the Atlanta area. Our supervisor is making us work holidays and sundays and has been for
4 years he does not post overtime desired lists and we are not behind
in work. Our union stew is his buddy and he told us that he can work
us anyway he wants to Any help would be appreciated

I need some help or advice from seasoned maill carriers on how to drive a rural route of hilly curvy roads and minimize the wear and tear on the braking system! I am struggling with frequent brake jobs and I want to know if and what I may be doing wrong. There has got to be an easier way since so many full time carriers do this every day and seem to have less brake failures than I do as a sub. PLEASE any info would be most appreciated!!!!!

How long did the move and actual transfer take place? Was it out of state?

I hope someone in this forum may be able to give me a recommendation for my vehicle. It has come the time to replace my brake pads on my 2005 Jeep Wrangler that I use on my route. Friends have told me that there are brake pads on the market now which are designed for "severe duty" [police cruiser/delivery vehicles/fleet vehicle use] and that 10,000 miles can be gotten out of them. Would anyone here put their $0.02 in as to where I could find some brake pads like this or be able to recommend a particular brand? Many thanks in advance!

I got results of a 98 on the MVO/TTO for the Philly exam. Im currently a carrier in the Philly suburbs about to make regular. I want to go back to driving after 7 years as a teamster. Is it a good move to go to motor vehicles in Philly?

Hey there Las Vegas, thanks for the post.
If you want you can send me an email to gearjammer228@yahoo.com

Hi all MVS folks out there. Here in Las Vegas we have an incredible need for TTOs. Our bid cycle is fast approaching and our need for more TTOs is growing. We here need help and fast. I am not sure if I should give out contact stuff here so I won't. Just see your H.R. people to check out our H.R. phone numbers and the jobs in TTO that are ready to fill. I will say this, our GMF/plant is on Sunset Road and Paradise. If you are from out of town and need a general idea of what area of town we are in.

Not yet, waiting for something to become a little more clear here at home. Long story. but still interested in any info someone can give about the Vehicle services out in Vegas.

Its been ahwile TrapMan, did you make it to Vegas ?

Its been a month since any comments have been added - everyone that busy or doesn't anyone have anything to say ??

To VMF Mechanic : If your local union rep is not assisting you as they should then go over their head. You can start with the local president, and move up from there until you get a proper response.

FILE A GRIEVANCE

Help at our vmf the supervisor makes us work nearly evry
holiday and now he is mandatory all of us to work overtime
on sunday and he will not work with us on this and if you
complain to him he gives you all the hard work and denies
your leave our union is little to no help on this. also
he is subcontracting work out that should be in the shop
he says we are behind on services but if we are behind
he does not get his bonus money what can we do to stop
no other vmf in the distric is doing this but us

bjohns,

I can only speak to here in ST.LOUIS, MO. But I applied back in feb of 2004 and took till Nov 2004 for an interview, then started in Dec 2004. Just depends alot on if they are starting some new runs, if they have some guys retiring soon, etc.

Greetings everyone ! I'm new to this site, and thought I'd say a few words. I'm one of two female MVO's at our plant (she's FTR and I'm PTF). I read a comment from
