[QUOTE="Mythical Methods, post: 3212144, member: 63163"] I searched and found this thread to review looking for information on RTD and DOT regulations. Seems to be the most relevant, although old, so I am posting under it because it’s relevant. Please correct my management team if They told wrong but I am trying to understand how this exactly works, and if someone could explain the law to me using DOT language/references I would appreciate it. I went into preload at 1:45am. I was then used as a helper, with a two hour break from 9:30am to 11:30am before I went on car. I was told that the rule is as follows: 14 hours plus/from first punch. Meaning I was to be off the clock at 3:45pm. According to sups this is required because I have a DOT card and they are paying me as a RTD rate. It doesn’t matter whether I drive zero hours or max hours. I am not allowed to work past 14 hours after first punch with or without breaks or double shift within 24 hours and I must be off for 10 hours between end of previous shift before starting next new punch. This however causes problems for the driver who is over dispatched with work and needs me longer. So for my information is the above correct or not? If it is not that means I could make more money under this rule if necessary. I am also interested in understanding how to use the rule on Fridays so I can still make RTD rate as helper and have enough hours to work Saturday air for that extra money. Although I understand another rule applies after 6th punch. If anyone can explain this to me that would be great. To sum it up: Does hours of service apply to a helper who worked preload and used as a helper while being paid RTD rate? How is a RTD used as a helper at RTD rate to not exceed DOT hours, especially on 6th punch and time required off? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
