[QUOTE="ColBoz, post: 668955, member: 27639"] Last Friday I worked 13 hours 55 minutes. At the beginning of the day I asked my supervisor when I should call him about going over the 12-hour DOT rule. He stated it was Friday and I could work 14 hours (with a smile on his face). My question is: Maybe this rule doesn't violate DOT regulations but shouldn't it break UPS safety stanards? Or work ethics? Or UPS employee relation? Or am I just being a whiner? And furthermore, does anyone think this supervisor should be disciplined for giving me a 14 hour dispatch on a Friday or any other day of the week, in the first place? What would you do? I a fulltime fill-in driver so I know 90% of the routes. Is my area knowledge my worst enemy? Nothing starts a weekend like getting home to sleeping house at mid-night!!!!:whiteflag::dead: [/QUOTE]
