3 done 3 to go
In control of own destiny
Also, would we only need to take 30 mins? With the option to take a whole lunch. The 15 mins would help me a little. I wouldn't need to break for my last post office
Does this change our lunch breaks?
- Thread starter 3 done 3 to go
- Start date
Huh?

Post offices in smaller towns generally have limited hours so our country drivers sometimes have to break off to make sure they get there on time.

our supplement is going to a full hr lunch. that puts my day at 14.5 hrs house door to house door.
There are only 2 classes. All commercial vehicles (ups, feeder, owner operator) and commercial vehicles carrying passengers (busses, limo, ambulance).
You work 8, you need 30 min off.
FMCSA hours of service HOS. Rules and regulations for drivers. 2013
Seems there is a "short haul provision" that suggests otherwise.

Oh come on. The short haul paragraph doesn't even mention the meal break.
It's not even an FMCSA website. A business owner such as yourself wouldn't use this website to plan your business, would he???
"The prohibition on driving after being on duty 60 hours in 7 consecutive days, or 70 hours in 8 consecutive days, remains the same, but drivers can “restart” the 7/8 day period anytime a driver has 34 consecutive hours off duty."
This is even wrong! Do NOT go by this website!

I actually agree with you. I have been asking around Ground to see if a break will need to be entered into the scanner or some other way documented but nobody seems to have heard anything. We were briefed on the 70 hour rule and that is it. But what is different about short haul that they would separate it out? The definition non-CDL and 150 mile radius does fit every one of my routes.
Seems this site is monitored. Senior manager just called and safety department forwarded the info. According to FDX understanding, the 150 mile radius does in fact apply. On a side note, I would guess that right about now somebody is beginning a process to make certain that is the correct reading.
If I understand you correctly, you're saying Fedex says the 150 mile thing says no 30 minute break is required. See if you can get them to send you a link saying that from the FMCSA site.
Would love to know for sure!

e Audience: All Drivers

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has revised its Hours of Service regulations. The following changes will take effect July 1, for anyone operating a commercial vehicle on behalf of UPS.
Key Messages
No driver can restart their seven-day period (168 hours) more than once per calendar week. The driver must have 34 consecutive hours off duty with at least two periods of off-duty time between 1-5 a.m., home-terminal time. All drivers must take a 30-minute break during their first eight hours on duty. Meal breaks or any other off-duty time of at least 30 consecutive minutes qualifies as a break. Time spent in parked vehicles, or waiting to load or unload, does not count as break time for any driver unless the driver is released from all responsibility for the vehicle and cargo during that time.
Conclusion It is important that we all adhere to these new rules. For those of you required to keep a log, continue to log your hours accurately and be sure to show your off-duty time. Please talk to me if you have any questions about these changes.
