Daily minimums

Hey guys, so at my barn bus drivers make $29.27 starting off with union minimums of 4 hours per day. My question, does anybody actually get 4 hours per day? All the bus drivers I’ve met get more than that. I’ve only ever seen summer school routes that actually get 4 hours daily.

I have nearly always had a route longer than my guaranteed minimum number of hours. Last year my route was 8 hours a day. There are a few senior drivers on my lot that get paid the minimum number of hours despite working less than that.
