According to this it looks like we can go to exactly 8 hours before starting our 30 minute consecutive break.
That's funny as Management has a conniption if we use decimals instead of fractions in the hours totals.

As it turns out I was Ok, but I had you in my pocket just in case. I was 160 late and didnt maintain my sporh. Wahhhhh. I gently said, if you think I am the problem and not your numbers, come ride with me, pack a big fat lunch, and dinner. If you dont want to do that, go look at Article 37. I am one of the oldest drivers. I went 92 miles instead of the 76 I had when you gave me my lock in. Its math bud, I cant fix it. Im beat, its Friday, cant you go talk to someone about lifting and lowering or something. He actually laughed and walked away.

That is not accurate, it applies to all drivers of commercial motor vehicles regardless of license required:
| Who Must Comply | HOS Final Rule | |
| Most drivers must follow the HOS Regulations if they drive a commercial motor vehicle, or CMV. In general, a CMV is a vehicle that is used as part of a business and is involved in interstate commerce and fits any of these descriptions:

And we wonder where the saying "Dumb truck drivers" comes from.
I think its time that we give up on trying to convince other drivers that the regulation does apply to package cars. No matter what facts they are shown, they will continue to believe what they choose to believe. Makes me wonder if they still look for a fat guy, dressed in red, with a white beard climbing down the chimney on Christmas.

Even if the law didn't apply to package which I still believe it does since we have had plenty of PCM's on it. How dumb are drivers for refusing to take a free lunch !?

Like they say, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him relax and drink it for his federally mandated break by his 8th hour.

Ok I'll bite. Simply amazing to me, that you believe the new rule applies to any of us. They don't give a rats ass about any of us. It's about covering their own asses. Again.
You just have to read the "Who Must Comply" from the FMSCA.
Thank you for proving my point.

The government is mandating this in the interest of public safety. We have drivers ignoring this rule too and I keep telling them if you get in an accident and your over your 8 it'll be your last day at UPS. There's nothing the unions going to be able to do for you when you break the law.
I don't think you understood me.
Who cares what your management team thinks about the new law. As a professional driver, you abide by the law. This law is incredibly good for us, a gift from God.
Unless you're a runner gunner.....
have a safe 12 hour day boys. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Wah
The rule, sorry LAW, applies to all drivers regardless of the color of the uniform. They are covering their asses because there's someone who'll kick it hard if they don't have their drivers comply.

This thread proves a lot of you guys really are just dumb truck drivers.
Well, it certainly proves that your runner gunners will do and say anything to justify breaking the law.
