Anything above the city is Upstate LOL. That's how most people describe it. But when talking to the lady at the diner I eat in Kingston she mentioned somewhere else and told me it was upstate and when she said upstate she meant almost CanadaKingston is NOT Upstate.
THAT is definitely upstate.

You must miss where I'm one of the guys that likes Dave here. I may not agree with everything the guy says but that doesn't make me dislike him in the least. Plus I would never damage another person property. There's more creative ways to mess with someone without being destructive.

Yeah that could be a tool too but I've never been one to cyber bully. If I'm going to bust your balls I'm going to do it to your face with your friends around to get a chuckle or two. But of course I can take good banter as well so turnabout is fair play.

A few years ago we played a joke on a driver. He had stopped by his car to let it warm up before punching out. We slid the temp thingy to cold.
He was not amused.

The 12 hour rule was in our center too. It lasted about 2 weeks. Now its back to 14.

Many places have this rule and the reason is simple.
Management is lazy.
Keep all drivers under 12 hours and they don't have to worry about Hours Of Service, which UPS is liable for as is the driver.
Work 5 days not going over 12 hours a day will keep you under 60 hours for the week, the DOT HOS limit.

I recently hit 60 hours on a Friday and they tried to tell me that my breaks didn't count towards my 60 hours so I still had a few hours left...not my lunch...but my 15s and 10s

60 months and counting
How much time do Americans spend on their phones per week... either texting or surfing the web or Facebook... the number must be staggering..
Good deal, don't tell them.

I told my supervisor to please send a message to my board saying that my breaks didn't count towards 60....2 minutes later he calls me saying to come in. It's a paid break how would it not count

It does not matter to the DOT whether it is paid or not. They have 2 rules regarding off duty time when it comes to HOS.
- The driver must be relieved of all duty and responsibility for the care and custody of the vehicle, its accessories, and any cargo or passengers it may be carrying.
- During the stop, and for the duration of the stop, the driver must be at liberty to pursue activities of his/her own choosing and to leave the premises where the vehicle is situated.
You can shop, swim, golf, jog, cut your grass, etc. I know, it is only 10 minutes for some, but you are off duty for DOT HOS purposes.
Correct
Don't tell them, unless you are a 12 hour guy and want all the time you can get. In the Central, you can get another 1.66 over and above your 60.
Yes they are, for DOT HOS purposes.
See above.
