If it’s brown, it’s going down
For semi drivers yes just saying that would suck and be killer OT at the same time.
70 hour rule

AND THAT’S THE BOTTOM LINE
We were told at pcm this morning that its not going to happen this year per our DM. Of course two weeks ago we were told nobody over 9.5 yet I'm at 50 hours through 4 days so.....

Part on order, ok to drive
We have the same problem at my hub, many drivers are out of hours and they need Saturday to be pretty much a full dispatch

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
But if virtually everyone is out of hours who drives the trucks?

You were told the 70 hours rule isn’t going to happen?
Supervisor?

That’s a DOT violation if I’ve ever seen one. Ain’t no way they haven’t all worked over 60 hours too. They love to ignore that fact.
Absolutely. They better pray that they don't get internet a serious accident.

I’d love to know what happened here.

Yeah but remember they are allowed to work if all other options have been exhausted.

I'm at 60 hours and normally a Tuesday-Saturday guy. They told us last night our guys that hit 60 are driver helping today. Can I still demand at least 8 hours today?

Come on man, it's peak season... anything goes!
Just be glad you will be paid ot for being the helper/ navigator to a seasonal driver with less experience behind the wheel.
It could be worse... you can be in a truck that's under 10,000 lbs and be worked over 70 hours with half the pay at FXG

But how many on-road supervisors have not put in 60 hours already this week? I know mine shows up at 6:30 A..M. and works till 10 P.M. I wouldn't call the DOT on him....Unless I was forced to be his helper
I would casually joke about how much work we have been putting in, then ask him what time he stayed until the night before. If he didn't have 10 hours rest, I would refuse to be his helper.
Drivers are required to log their hours, ours are done electronically. I would ask to see his driver's log before risking my safety with him behind the wheel. 60 hour rule in effect. 10 hours off duty always in effect.
He can't say I stayed till 11 p.m. so I can drive at 9 A.M.... If he started working before 9 A.M. he is disqualified from driving till he has 10 hours off duty.

Common sense says any driver, experienced or not, doesn't drive in violation of DOT safety laws.
Ask for the hours log of the driver you will be helping, supervisor or not. You have the right to protect your safety.
If UPS will not provide it, tell them you will be forced to call the DOT to see if UPS is violating the law by not providing the info.

If drivers have 60 hours you can bet your ass every sup has their 60 in too.
