If an a.m./p.m. only comes open and the most senior driver requesting it has a mid-day, the driver may keep the mid-day (assuming it can be accommodated) and combine it with the open a.m./p.m. to make a new package. If a mid-day only comes open, it will be made available to the most senior driver who can accommodate it; it will not be posted. If no regular driver bids a temporary-regular run, the mid-day will be separated from it and from the mid-day offered to the most senior driver who is able to accommodate it. The rest of the run will be available to substitutes. When the regular driver returns, the entire package will return to the regular driver.
