[QUOTE="UPSGUY72, post: 878752, member: 14514"] The 10 hours rule is a DOT rule when you violate it UPS has to notify them. What most people don't know is that when you punch in and out that isn't just for you getting paid it also keeps track that you had 10 hours off and that your worked less than 60 hours and or had your 34 hr reset. When you punch in with less then 10 hrs off the system knows this and puts up a red flag that they have to notify the DOT. Your supervision can't change this because it happens almost instantly the second you punch in under 10 hrs or go over 60. You might not think of it as a big problem working with less that 10 hrs off. But it a really big problem if you got in to a accident that day and someone else got hurt or worse you could have ended up in jail not to mention the problem that UPS would be in. WE AS DRIVERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR making sure we have 10 hrs off between shifts, don't work more than 14 hours in one day, and don't work more than 60 hours in one week. It isn't your SUP's responsibility. All you had to say is that your not in DOT compliance I can't work. [/QUOTE]
