It's a good spot to be in. I like it done early but I also like making money, so whatever way they want to play it...
Just violated DOT what to expect now?

Yeah, you didn’t violate anything; they just don’t understand how to calculate the rolling hours without a reset.
The good news is you can use the reset knowledge from now on to avoid this situation. If they force you to work late on Saturday then you get out of work early Monday. Let them figure out your time, just say you need a 34 hr reset and can’t come in.

I'm sure he got chewed out by his boss.
Hurting for people to bad for that!
Hello everyone, just going to make this short. I’ve got another post on another account somewhere going more into detail, but I got a dot violation from being a few minutes shy of a reset. 3 days after I’ve been told about it, they told me I have a letter coming and they’re shortening my days this week since my hours aren’t reset but just going off of the roll back days. I’ve seen other posts on here making me paranoid of being terminated, they’ve already told me I need to be ready for more long days next week because of how busy it is implying I’ll be working next week. What are the odds of something happening and being terminated?

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
By the sounds of it you didn’t actually violate DOT.
You violated the companies narrow view of the DOT laws

I’ve spent a ton of time looking into this online, everywhere I look I see that the reset isn’t mandatory, but if it didn’t reset I went over if it’s still rolling back the past 7 days. I’ve talked to a lot of the people at our air port and got a lot of comments on this forum it seems nobody really knows the rules.

The DOT knows the rules. Look them up and read them for yourself so you will know. They cut your hours this week to keep you from violating again. You will work more hours next week, and you will keep working until your center manager forgets who you are.

took another posters advice and ignored ups and went and read the official dot rules, looks like the 34 hour reset is optional.

We told you the 34 is optional, this isn't rocket science! Your supervisor is either making arbitrary rules because he/she doesn't understand the HOS rules or is dumbing them down because he/she is tired of babysitting all the fools who can't seem to understand simple math with a few rules thrown in.
You started at 2:15 Monday, what time did you return to the building and how much meal/break did you take before returning to the building? I did the math for you in the other thread, I think you had to be back by 7:02 to not go over your 60 provided you didn't take any meal or break before returning.

The 34 reset is optional per DOT HOS, but, there is no contractual violation in regards to UPS mandating a 34 hour reset.
While he didn't violate HOS, he failed to follow instructions by not taking a 34 hour reset, hence the warning letter

How do you know he didn't violate HOS?
He finished Saturday with .80 hours available of his 60 hour week, failed to do a reset by 15 minutes and recaptured 4 hours from the previous Monday. If he was on road more than 4.8 hours Monday he violated.
From reading his post, my impression was that Tuesday he was in trouble for going over 60 hours Monday because he failed to reset.

Because he said he got a warning letter for not doing a 34 hour reset, he did not get one for violating HOS.
If he violated HOS, I'm sure he would have gotten a warning letter for that.
