I personally "know" of couriers in other parts of the country, especially on extended routes who are not taking the hour break DIRECTIVE, not D.O.T. policy, (log books). Most of us don't drive over 100 air miles so we are NOT required to log our hours.
I would like to sincerely THANK those managers who have back bone, common sense and are fighting for the employees and customers. They are taking up the "service" issue and explaining that the "directive" is NOT a "one size fits all" situation. Sadly that is NOT the case at our station.
It really sucks to be hung out to dry, run your butt off, drop the outbound and stay out late..night after night.....and it's not even October ...much less peak. I been around 20+ years and this is the worst I have seen it.
And for sure....if the hour break stays....it will in December and the chips can fall where they may. Sad stuff...really disgusted but life goes on.
