I have 30 years in, and have never been forced to work on Saturday. They always force from the bottom up.

Is that not something you like? I can't give them enough work during peak. Double the amount of stops than typical? Bring it. While others would rather keep that work/home balance.
Also not too sure what you mean about Black Friday? A shift is a shift, most drivers are on all week anyway, so assuming you are too. Even if that weren't the case, taking that day off is something that is considered really
astical by both us suits and you guys. It's all hands during peak. :\

everyone thought they’d be sneaky and try to get 60 hrs last peak , then they broke the news they can work 70hrsUPS WINS AGAIN
Same here. 2 years ago we got the "Sorry, it's 70 now". But last peak even though the contract wasn't ratified beforehand they knew what the numbers would look like for the retro pay. They had a hard line at 60 and really only stretched it the week of Christmas. Even then they didn't have too many people over 60. Maybe this is the best contract ever......
This was the worst contract ever
Gotta be careful with that one.

I did on a Friday. Went out for 3 hrs and had a killer headache. Drove back, went to managers office and said I’m going home due to fatigue, I’ll see you tomorrow.
Rode as a ‘helper’ at driver pay for 8hrs on Saturday.

Why? It’s right in the contract and DOT allows it. It’s up to the driver to make the call, just like hazardous weather.
My states FMCSA office is 10 minutes from my house. I paid them a visit last peak to clear up some info.
You're basically telling the company that you're not fit to do your job. You can do that once in a blue moon but I wouldn't make a habit out of it.

Does this apply to management that take stress leave or develop other coping skills to deal with the constant and continual mental/physical stressors?
I have no idea.

I'm into distribution!!
I heard this week Surepost is coming back to our building in January. The guy wasn't sure if it was everyday or just to supplement the weekend work.
This may be old news but it was new to me.

After working 5 14 hour days, i am not fit to do my job for a 6th. It’s pretty simple actually.

And the response will be "you've managed it for 5 days....what's one more day in the grand scheme of things? Suck it up"

No but a smart manager would say "ok you won't be driving but I'm requiring you to come in and be a helper."
fatigue line only pertains to driving.

idk about you, but I drive to and from work.
keep working your 6 day weeks guys. Can’t wait to see all the threads from all the soft drivers crying about working 6 days. I’ll be home drinking beer enjoying my sat and sun.
