My understanding is that any hours on duty for any employer counts against your 60 for DOT.
I've thought about getting a job on Sunday at Home Depot because in MA they pay time and a half on Sunday. I decided against it because work at UPS already takes up enough of my time and I don't NEED the money.
If I did NEED the money I would take the job and work 10 hours. That would leave me with 50 for UPS. I don't see how they would have a problem with this except for late November and December.
I've never heard of an employee at UPS catching any flack for working a second job outside of UPS.
My theory is, we don't need a second job. I average about 5 hours OT per week. That equals about $210 dollars. To me, that is my second job! I would need to work at Wal-Mart for 20 hours to make that extra money!
When you think about it, we have it pretty good at UPS as drivers. We are heading towards reccesion, yet we will still get 9 hours a day working at UPS. I'd be hard pressed to find another company paying overtime during an economic downturn!
Sorry, I was having fun playing with the smile list
