[QUOTE="HEFFERNAN, post: 1154779, member: 11315"] The thing I never got was how the DOT hours of service grouped package drivers with feeders and over the road drivers. The rules make sense when you consider long hours driving between points like tractor trailer driving. But, when you consider the amount of boxes we have to deliver and pick up, the continuous getting on/off the vehicle, and basically the pure physicality of the job in the elements, you'd think that the DOT would group us separately in another tier. Driving a trailer 60 hours and delivering in a package car 60 hours do not compare at all. Both have different mental and physical obstacles that shouldn't be affiliated with each other. I always think about this when I have to sign the DOT hours of service annual paperwork. [/QUOTE]
