Why is it that FedEx ground supervisors and contractors tell you that you can drive 70 hours a week when Dot Rules and Regulations tells you its 60 hours for a consecutive 7 day period.
Last time I checked we work 5 days in a 7 day period so we should not be driving over 60 hours. This just goes to show you how much they have your best intrest at heart.. Ya right.
If you are working over 60 stop we all need to remember that it is our DOT Liscense to lose and not that of Fed EX or your contractors.
It does state you can work 70 hours for a 8 consecutive day period but we do not fall in that category.
I know you cannot drive over 60 hours at UPS and the Express driver told me that they dont drive over 55 hours so they cant even come close to 60. Why would it be diffrent for Ground? I realize that we work for contractors but rules and regulations of DOT should be followed by all.
