DOT laws are the equivalent of a second (maybe third) grade math problem.

Agree, boggles my mind some grown men can't do this. It's basic addition and subtraction, no calculus at all!DOT laws are the equivalent of a second (maybe third) grade math problem.
You have to admit that in feeders it is a tad hard at first, starting on one day and ending on another you know the whole time gained after midnight thing.Agree, boggles my mind some grown men can't do this. It's basic addition and subtraction, no calculus at all!
If it's completely irrelevant, then how can UPS force the 70/8 rule on package car drivers?Package car drivers reset every weekend. The 8 is completely irrelevant for a package car driver.
I swear. Some of you make management look like a bunch of Einsteins.
Because P/C drivers reset, the 8 day is for drivers rolling hours. EG: feeders or over the road drivers.If it's completely irrelevant, then how can UPS force the 70/8 rule on package car drivers?
You can't possibly be this dense.If it's completely irrelevant, then how can UPS force the 70/8 rule on package car drivers?
Exactly!! The 70/8 rule is for long-haul drivers, not package car drivers!Because P/C drivers reset, the 8 day is for drivers rolling hours. EG: feeders or over the road drivers.

FedEx ground has been using the 70/8 rule for years.Exactly!! The 70/8 rule is for long-haul drivers, not package car drivers!
I have no issue understanding how the 70 / 8 works. What I have an issue with is UPS using it for package car drivers. We don't sit on our asses all day long driving down the road. It's a very physical job. 70 hours in package takes a much harder toll on the body.I imagine these are the same people that struggled with word problems in school no matter how simple they were.
No, it's a DOT rule which applies to anyone driving a commercial vehicle. Is a P/C considered a commercial vehicle?Exactly!! The 70/8 rule is for long-haul drivers, not package car drivers!
I'm not saying 70 hours isn't hard just that it's legal.I have no issue understanding how the 70 / 8 works. What I have an issue with is UPS using it for package car drivers.
