[QUOTE="anonymous6, post: 1074675"] you are exactly right. it has been said many times here. it is the DRIVERS responsibilty to know the DOT HOS rules. I have stopped at the scales and spoken to dot people there to clarify rules. they gave me a print out of the rule in question and I made copies of it. i kept a copy and gave one to my supervisor. it is easy to be confused by these rules. even ( non DOT )law enforcement get confused on these rules so don't be surprised that UPS bosses get confused also. it's government at its best. so what can you expect? just learn them and DON"T violate even if a boss tries to make you. It is your CDL on the line not the bosses. If you are in violation and get in an accident and hurt or kill someone, then it is YOUR ASS! The co. will be fined big time and you will face criminal charges also, lose your job and also be civilibly liable too. they will take everything away from you and put you in jail. you think i am joking? it happens everyday in the commercial driver world.
