Common use of Assignment of Vehicles Clause in Contracts

Assignment of Vehicles. Management shall assign a specific bus to each driver. Once so assigned, a bus will remain with the driver for the remainder of that driver's employment, unless it is necessary to retire the bus, to remove the bus temporarily for maintenance, to reassign the bus in order to rectify conditions of over or under loading, to equalize mileage with another bus, or the driver bids on a special education bus route (or vice versa). Transfers for purposes of equalizing mileage will only be made between buses of the same model year and then only if a difference of 7,000 miles exists. Whenever management retires buses and replaces them with new buses during the school year, the new buses will be assigned to the drivers from whom the old buses are retired. Vehicles used on special bus routes may be reassigned to different routes at the discretion of the Employer.
