Question about working at 2 Fedex Locations

[Fred's Myth]

Non-DOT vs DOT.

Based on vehicle weight.

Caveat: Opinions are not the same thing as FACT, so beware of this (im)poster.

Non-DOT vs DOT.

Based on vehicle weight.

That doesn't sound right, D...

Ive driven both classes of package cars, under 10k & the p700 ford utilimaster stepvan, which is 14,500 lbs... and the bigger boxtrucks ~ the fuso or gmc cabover 18~24'~ yet I'm capped at 70 hours a week.

And u brownies are capped at 60 HOS

The DOT doesn't cap them at 60, the teamsters and $50/hr OT does.

I believe he's right. At FedEx, those that are non-DOT were able to work 7 days this past Mother's Day in a Sprinter. I am DOT and was not allowed, even though I wanted to.

 

[OrioN]

Jack, i know we can work up to 7 days, as long as we don't go over 70.... Mr. it probably answered it though of why our HOS are 10 hours more than the brownies....

 

[STFXG]

UPS uses the 60 hours in 7 days schedule. We use the 70 hours in 8 days schedule. Your hours reset with the 34 hours off duty.

 

[STFXG]

Non DOT drivers can drive as many hours as they want. Ground doesn't cap us at 70 if you drive a vehicle under 10k lbs. but we still have to stay under 14 hours in a day (contract rule, not a DOT rule). The HOS rules are only for vehicles over 10k except the 14 hour rule in our contract.

 

[OrioN]

meh, kinda contradicting if you can drive as as many hours as they want, except it has to be 14 hours in a day.

for example, if i wanna start late, like noon, i can work until 2AM ?

Yes. As long as you take 10 hours off duty before you drive again. If it's a Ground route you have to be back before the last trailer leaves.

Gosh ghee whizz, still dunno how that 8 day workweek works... since they're only 7 days in a week. maybe that's why im still with HD... cause my rithmetic sucks and dunno if having salary rate is better than express' 35~40 hours a week rate.

 

[STFXG]

Every time you have a 34 hour restart then the week starts over and resets your hours. It really just gives us an extra 10 hours on the road since we don't run Sunday and that day off will reset our hours. Helps give linehaul the ability to run 8 days straight if they need to.

It's a rolling 8 day period. So each day consider how much you're working that day and the 7 preceding days. Unless of course you got a 34 hour reset. For the reset to count it has to include two mornings. I'm not sure exactly what the window is that it needs to include but i know you can't take your reset from say 1:00 pm Saturday to 3:00 am Monday morning. It's over 34 hours but doesn't count because of the time of day.

[Schweddy]

So whatever happened with this? You still only PT?

 

[willdowning]

Yeah I'm still only at Fedex Express PT at one location. But since they are cutting guaranteed pay in January not sure how much longer I will be there.
