[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 669134, member: 484"] as has been stated, driving time for feeders, and delivery time for drivers are totally different. they can very easily work you over 12 every day if that is what they want. but that is not really what is at issue here. they pick fridays as the day to load up the drivers because they know everyone wants to start their weekend. so you will most likely cut corners, skip lunch to try and get in just a bit earlier. it is a management tool that has been around since i started in the 70's. There is nothing illegal, and while it might conflict with safety issues, they dont have a problem with it. again, it goes back to the lack of respect for the workforce. abuse to make a few extra bucks. one last thing, while they can work you longer than 14 hours, you should not be allowed to drive after 14 hours on duty, without at least 10 hours off. that is why they can get by with abusing fridays, as durig the week, if they work you more than 14 hours, you wont have 10 hours off before your next start time. but on fridays, its not an issue. d [/QUOTE]
