[QUOTE="Mack37, post: 4124823, member: 58266"] No logs, no required 30 min breaks, no resets no nothing. If you want to work 12 hours a day 365 days in a row and the work is available then go nuts. DOT physicals are only required because USPS volunteered to participate but there are ways around that as well. Yeah the long distance stuff is pulled by contractors, we do the local plant to plant and plant to station runs as well as the customer drop and hooks. My current run is 8.5 hours and I driver about 100 miles a day. I think you’re supposed to do a pre-trip but most don’t other than checking lights. The mechanics walk around every day and check fluids and tires and add as necessary. It’s rather funny seeing that the newest postal marked trailers that I’ve see are 1998’s. We’re not subject to DOT inspections and aren’t required to enter scales if you happen to come across any. There are no license plates, dot numbers Ifta or insurance. All the mail we handle is rolling stock or pallets. When your low in seniority you’ll have runs where you’re pushing mail but once you get up there it will be all drop and hook. Volume depends on the size of the station you serve. [/QUOTE]
