[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 4149255, member: 42554"] That's what I argued to the DOT when they first put in the 70/8 and they were unresponsive. Since it's all driving time once they go "on road" other than meals and breaks, working a package driver on road for over 12 hours should be a violation (11 hours plus 2-15 minute breaks and 1/2 hour meal "off duty" time here). The documented time at stops is typically less than a minute if you've ever read a SPARKS report, not long enough to have a Change of Duty status. Most of it is time-between-stops which is typically driving time. At some bulk stops it could be but your average UPS package driver does only a few bulk stops and some short business deliveries and lots of residential deliveries- especially during Peak when the seasonal are doing all the business and bargaining unit members are doing all the residential. In order to use the exemption they should have to limit your day to 11 hours "on road and whatever your meal/break time is per contract, but they aren't so effectively the 11 hour limit isn't being applied. All we need is someone to get killed by a fatigued package driver and a very good lawyer to make UPS bleed. [/QUOTE]
