I kinda thought the same thing. We'd kill here to start at 8:15.
Why? They would just cut routes and give you more work. It wouldnt be beneficial to you at all.

That's a DOT violation. That could cost your center manager his job. I'd file a complaint.I had like 40 stops left and had to break off to take another drivers final 25 stops so he could go in and make 9.5. I clocked out at about 11:30pm, over 14 hours. I have not had to help anyone in that manner since.

Exactly!!If someone is about to go over 14 hours in our building the alarms go off. Last time that was about to happen they ordered the driver to pull over and stop where he was, then 2 managers drove out there, I one to bring the driver back and one to bring the truck back.

You do know that they cant FORCE you to do this right? If you are in the building and you have worked your 8 hours they cant force you back out, its called double dispatching and they arent allowed to do that. From what I have learned if you are still out on route they can, but if you are in the building they cant force you back out if you have worked 8 hours. You might check your rules but as far as Ive been told this is how it works here anyway.
Son, you gotta stand up for yourself. What you leave with in the AM is your assigned dispatch. They can't force you to do extra, other than OCA's. Now, they may SAY you have to do it, and they may hate you for not doing it, but they can't force you to do it.
Having said all of that, remember, this is a horrible economy. Money is money. , you HAVE to be off for 10 hoursIn a time when so many are hurting, be glad that you have the opportunity. Now, if you still don't want to fatten your wallet and retirement fund, slow your roll, man. DO NOT bust your ass doing this extra work.
You worked 14 hours? 16 is the maximum one day a week. And remember, you HAVE to be off for 10 hours following a 14 Hour shift. So if you worked until 11:30 PM, you can't start work the following day until 9:30. That's not UPS/Teamster talk; that's DOT federal law. You violate that, you and the company facing a large fine if you get caught.
But my advice is to grab the gravy train by the wagon wheels and hold on for as long as it is rolling...
Keep in mind that while that may the case under your supplement, it's not true everywhere.
I was talking about the the first part of your post:No, it's DOT Hours of Service rules and it is federal law. It has nothing to do with contracts or supplements.
I agree with you on the DOT hours of service.Son, you gotta stand up for yourself. What you leave with in the AM is your assigned dispatch. They can't force you to do extra, other than OCA's. Now, they may SAY you have to do it, and they may hate you for not doing it, but they can't force you to do it.
