Express is maxed out at 60. Can't speak for Ground.
Correction.... Used to be 60 hours and it varies station to station. FedEx decided that anyone driving a Sprinter or van is no longer DOT certified so the hours thing can change as needed. Currently, at my station, we are not allowed to go over 12 hrs a day.

I think the federal regs changed to 70 hours.
It will be fine

We're only allowed to go 70 because that pesky DOT says that's the limit before a 36 hr reset period.
I'm guessing the teamsters have something to do with a 60 hr limit at brown. That and I'm sure the shareholders would not like 30 hrs of OT for a top rate UPS driver.

double tap o da horn dooshbag
scratches head... yea that's what i was guessing too
but i guess they don't want to pay their guys OT rate for another 10 extra hours per driver... i've read somewhere where UPS will start running similar schedules like FX HD (tues-sat)
most drivers at my HD terminal are around 50-60 hours only. the few that max to 70 are the ones with extended commute to their first stop (but hey, they can lie on their scanners about on-duty time)
