I would imagine if the on road sup hit and hurt/killed someone, that driving past 60 hours or 70 (if under the 70/8 rule) would be the basis for a big $$$$ lawsuit.

The only place I've heard of the 70/8 rule being used is here, and only for feeders.

Nope.
Supervisors don't punch in.
If that happened, the sups hours worked for the week would "show" that he was not over 60 or 70.
His 14 hour days for the week would mysteriously change to 8 hour days.

The only time my hours are logged is when I run a route. And even then, I'm in 3 hours before start time and usually there for a while after I punch out.

I hear what you're saying, but if the NTSB were sufficiently motivated, they could figure out exactly what you were up to and when . Paid work is time on duty. Changing records may be the standard modus operandi for UPS but just a few interviews with fellow employees could reveal a true picture of when the supervisor was working.

True, but UPS would throw enough money to the defendant to satisfy the family and the NTSB if UPS knew that they put the sup on road in violation of the DOT HOS.
In the Walmart case, they blamed the driver. Walmart did not force him to violate. The driver did it on his own.
UPS would be forcing the sup to violate. They can cover it up with enough money.

I'm not going to throw rumors on the internet.
2 sups I personally know were there Sunday to Tuesday to help out, one of them lives over 100 miles away from there.
Was just wondering if it was bad planning, bad staffing, or a building that couldn't handle the volume.
Found it strange that with perfect fall weather in Albany in December that they'd pull management from their respective peak buildings.
If they can pull management in December without affecting anything, then we know where the next UPS cuts are going to.

I have no idea and apologize if I offended you by calling it a rumor.
Our work comes from both Albany and Syracuse.
As I said, we are 100% clean; in fact, they advanced 4 trailers on Monday----I don't know if the loads came from Albany or Syracuse.
I do know that both are running Sunday sorts for the next 2 weeks.

Punched out at 5:30 tonight. Nobody needed help.
7:00 for me. That's after they took 20 off of me.

The Albany building is like 30k behind, and I heard the same thing about a lot of local management being moved to Albany for peak. My manager was just talking about this the other day.
2 hrs over allowed

Same thing as last year. They pulled a bunch of the Orion team in my area and sent them to Albany.
I punched at 5:50 today. 8 hrs.
I punched out at 5:30 yesterday and got a half-hour of guarantee time, I only made five minutes of OT today.
Looks like old Milwaukee for you on payday.
