Tractor-Trailer School. Once qualified and moved to a permanent tractor- trailer opening, they must remain for a minimum of three (3) years. Employees that disqualify themselves, for any reason, while attending feeder school, are not eligible to requalify again for twenty-four (24) months from the date of the disqualification. To be eligible to move from the qualified list to the tractor-trailer job, an employee must not have had an serious avoidable accident (as defined per Article 18 of the NMA) during the year preceding his/her assignment to a tractor-trailer job. In any case in which the local union believes an employee has been denied the opportunity of attending the tractor-trailer school, the local union shall have the right to discuss the matter with the district manager, or his/her designee, and present the facts which the local union believes show that the denial was improper. If an agreement cannot be reached, a decision will be given by the area Union and Employer representative. New tractor-trailer openings or vacancies will be filled from the list of qualified employees in their Company seniority order at that location. In the event no employee on the list of qualified employees elects to fill an opening, the employee with the least seniority on the list must fill the opening. Employees who have been on the tractor-trailer qualified list three (3) or more years, and who give the Employer thirty (30) day’s proper written notice, shall be removed from the qualified list. In those instances when there would not be enough drivers on the qualified list for adequate coverage, the Employer shall be afforded the opportunity to train other drivers before allowing an employee to get off the list. In order to accomplish the above, the Employer shall conduct tractor-trailer schools as frequently as needed to maintain a sufficient number of employees on the qualified list. Each center will offer no less than ten percent (10%) of the number of scheduled feeder jobs in that center to be on the qualified feeder list, or presently assigned to the feeder classification. Before hiring from the outside, the Employer will consider other employees to fill tractor-trailer openings if they meet the same criteria as those employees hired from the outside. The Employer shall not be required to use employees on the qualified list for seasonal feeder runs during October, November and December the period of October 15th through January 15th.
