[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 1751433, member: 8481"] Yes, but the standard workweek is 5 days. I'm sure you have Sun-Thurs, Mon-Fri, Tues-Sat schedules. Feeder drivers are scheduled for 5 days. They may work 6, but it is extra work and all time and a half. If you're scheduled for a standard 5 day work week, not counting the extra work option, you are bound by the 60/7 DOT hours of service. The difference being that an over the road driver, Swift, Schneider, JB Hunt etc, is not scheduled for a 5 day work week. Their schedule is by the month, not the week. They leave, work for a week, month or however long, then come home for a little while. If you're on the road 7 days a week, you get the 70/8 DOT hours of service. UPS wants the 70/8 even though their drivers are only scheduled for 5 days. They want to be able to use them for 6 or 7 days if needed. [/QUOTE]
