Dispatch Considerations Sample Clauses
Dispatch Considerations. The primary driving force behind any and all dispatch decisions is the facilitating of service to the demands of our customers, location of the work and Driver, distance and recognition of seniority. The decision to assign a specific piece of work to start a Driver’s day is made based on seniority and on the following reasons:
(a) The specific needs of the customer.
(b) The work available.
(c) The drivers available.
(d) The capability of the driver.
(e) The specific location of the customer in relation to the location of the driver.
(f) How other deliveries after the first delivery, will fit together with this delivery to accommodate a customer requirement later in the day.
(g) How other deliveries after the first delivery, will fit together with this first delivery to possibly accommodate a better revenue day for a more senior Driver.
(h) Chassis availability may have an affect.
(i) If the piece of work is a continuation of work from the previous day. Generally, the decision to activate a specific number of trucks for the day is based on seniority. It is therefore reasonable to assume that a more senior Driver would have higher earnings than a more junior Driver.
Dispatch Considerations. After seniority has been respected in pre-dispatch, the primary driving force behind any and all dispatch decisions is the facilitating of service to the demands of our customers, location of the work and Driver, distance and recognition of seniority. Pre-dispatch will only be allowed for the first two (2) moves of the day, except when there is a scale move involved and the pre-dispatch will be allowed for the first three (3) moves in such circumstances. After seniority has been respected in pre-dispatch, all dispatching for the rest of the day shall be done on a first come, first served basis where those drivers who are first at a location where another can is required to be moved and who can do so in a reasonable time from their arrival shall be dispatched to move that container first whenever possible.
