60 hour rule violation?

[Mugarolla]

Management telling us we have to come in Saturday to unload trailers even though we'll be at 60 hours on Friday. Says since we won't be driving those hours don't matter. Is that true?

It is true.

The DOT Hours of Service state that you cannot drive after working 60 hours in the past 7 days.

As long as you are not driving, you can work unlimited hours.

As long as you then have 34 hours off before Monday, you got another 60 hours for the week.

What I'm curious about is why the number 34? I wonder how the DOT came up with that number. Why not 48 hours which is an even 2 days?

Then you could never work a 6th punch with a 48 hour reset.

If I worked til 6pm on Saturday, I couldn't start working on Monday til 6pm.

As long as you have your 34 hours off prior to driving on Monday there is no violation

I can't figure out how this is even a question

I would think the ? would have been your first clue.

Gives you one day and your 10 off.

The question may be simple but the Diad training on this very subject is the most difficulty worded exercise.

I'm good at math and I have to run it 4-5 times because the questions are misleading. When a training exercise tells you this should only take 10 minutes, you know damn well some drivers have had to use 20 to get all 10 answers in a row correct.

I told the twilight and preload sups to not even think about asking my guys to work their sorts. They don't have the hours available and I'm not going to get caught with my pants around my ankles because a sort was short. They'll work their full DOT hours during the week. They don't need sort time.

Pants around your ankles.....

I am curious. How many of you would come in on a Saturday after 60 and unload trailers?

I can tell you right now. I know I wouldn't.

Unload for 2 get paid for 8?

Sure why not

Ding...Ding...Ding...

We have a winner.

Your normal 10 hours off plus 1 full day.

Union folks never return our calls either out here.

Do you vote?

Someone getting hurt would never be funny.


And you're preaching to the wrong management employee over hours worked.

So let's say I had a second job of 3 hours in the evenings delivering pizza, how does that tie into my 60...

There really should be a written test before you get a DOT card. This thread is a prime example of why.
