[QUOTE="hondo, post: 253429, member: 8661"] While I'm certainly not qualified to answer this, I'm going to reply anyway (it is only the interweb, after all). 9.5 hours seems to be the long-standing agreed upon "fair day's work" load. In theory, UPS factors # of packages, # of stops, miles driven, etc. and spreads the work around accordingly. Please see [B][COLOR=DarkRed]Article 37 (MANAGEMENT-EMPLOYEE RELATIONS) Section 1.c[/COLOR][/B] for the contract language on this. If, after repeated requests for a driver's workload to be reduced to 9.5 hours or less (excessive overtime), no progress is made towards this, time worked over 9.5 each day could potentially be double time. This only applies to package car drivers (feeder drivers can be worked up to the federal DOT regulations that apply to them) (and not in november-december, at least in my local's contract). References to not being allowed to work over 9.5 seem to refer to local center management teams getting pressure from above to reduce labor costs on their reports.
