[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 1239730, member: 6408"] OK, I must admit, I've been away for 3 1/2 yrs and the DOT rules are changing as rapidly as UPS rules so I have to say, what I wrote WAS my understanding at the time. And this understanding was corroborated by many. Now, as far as being PEAK is concerned, I know the company tries to pull this, "Throw the rules out the window" crap. Sure, they tried it here, too. Exam: We had it where a permanent run SHOULD have been put up for bid and they didn't, claiming "peak exemption". What? A driver retired, got fired (permanent), a new permanent run that they KNEW was gonna stay, a driver passed away. Why don't they want to post it for bid? Too much hassle, SURE! This time of year? Of course. I don't care. POST THE DAMN BID! It's not my problem your dispatch is screwed up this time of year. As far as not following established DOT regs go, show me where UPS can get away with not following the rules during peak. The DOT could care less about what time of year it is. Yes, I KNOW what UPS tries (and gets away with, also), I went through it. But, my reasoning was, "If you want me to follow all the rules 10 months a year and NOT for 2 months, it ain't happnin". Please correct me where I'm wrong. [/QUOTE]
