[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 280561, member: 6408"] I hate to put a possible Kabosh in this but shifters ARE under the 14 hour rule. Do you have to possess a CDL? Then you are under DOT regs also. DOT regs state, in part, that once you are clocked in, you are under DOT regs. Now, as far as shifting goes, those regs apply to hours, whether it be driving, on duty or off duty. The DOT book is the little green book that has regs numbered, for example: 395.25 etc. In one of those sections, it states that all duty performed while on duty, whether you are driving or not, are to be counted as either on duty driving or on duty not driving. You can only work one 14 hour day in a week and only if you return to your home domicile and only if you get a reset for the next week. I don't have time to research the exact reg number right now but would be happy to do so within the next day or so. Now, this may have been practiced in your hub or center the last few years and it has been tried here but has failed when DOT was brought into the picture. Remember, UPS cannot supercede Federal regulations. They can ADD rules and make em tougher, but they cannot TAKE AWAY DOT rules. [/QUOTE]
