We went 70 as of last peak so you can work 13 hours. No more early Fridays.

14 hour day is different than be classified as 70 as opposed to 60. 70 is a rolling 8 day clock.

I'm not sure DOT has to approve a change from 60 to 70.

Regulations Section
Question 1: May a motor carrier switch from a 60-hour/7-day limit to a 70-hour/8-day limit or vice versa?
Guidance:
Yes. The only restriction regarding the use of the 70-hour/8-day rule is that the motor carrier must have Commercial Motor Vehicle CMVs operating every day of the week. The 70-hour/8-day rule is a permissive provision in that a motor carrier with vehicles operating every day of the week is not required to use the 70-hour/8-day rules for calculating its drivers’ hours of service. The motor carrier may, however, assign some or all of its drivers to operate under the 70-hour/8-day rule if it so chooses. The assignment of individual drivers to the 60-hour/7-day or the 70-hour/8-day time rule is left to the discretion of the motor carrier.

Getting off at 6:30, some days 5:30, so I could work 7 days a week. Saturdays here they have made optional, but when Friday comes along they try and persuade you to come in.

Let them suffer out there. Last 5 Xmas s were uncalled for torture. They don't remember those days.
It doesn't have to be applied for, and DOT is not denying requests. Plenty of us are already working under the 70 hour rule. If it's being shot down in your area it's someone higher up in UPS making that decision.

I could call in sick without any problem, we have a lot of routes in. The rookies or seasonals now need help cause 100 stops is now 150. One guy had 140 at 5 pm.

Well in all honesty they probably should be denied just in the spirit of the law.
It’s meant for guys that work 7 days a week to keep a rolling log. I don’t think it was ever intended to shove 70 hours into 5-6 days then reset and start all over the next week.
