[QUOTE="SmithBarney, post: 2579810, member: 709"] Dano: Answer, what does it say on the bottom of the time card? DOT rules(for DOT drivers) and FedEx mirrors this rule for non DOT as well(although they don't regularly enforce it) DOT states you cannot work a beyond 8hrs straight without a 30min break. Meaning if you work a 9hr day, you can't take your break in the first hour or last hour. Basically your break needs to fall somewhere within the day to ensure you do not have more than 8hrs consecutively. PS: also remember you cannot drive on break(or to your break area) unless the vehicle is completely empty of freight, highly unlikely... [/QUOTE]
