[QUOTE="whatwasithinking, post: 935795, member: 34002"] I'm going to guess that most on road sups (in package centers) don't have a formal way of keeping track of their hours, though I sure they know how many they should be working. Since we don't punch into an actual time clock, it makes it tougher to keep track of the "official" hours. Rest assured I have driven after being at work for more than 14 hours. Is it wrong? Of course it is, but since there was no actual time that I punched in, I have continued to work. Typically it only will happen a couple of times a year, but I know it should NEVER happen. I know it is my responsibility, but I sometimes have a hard time just stopping when I still have 10 or 15 stops left. And it never will show because the part-timer that I have in the passenger seat didn't punch into the DIAD until I had already been at work for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. While I know that what I have done is wrong, I think it is even worse when we get in such a bind (weather, volume, disaster, etc) that we have to have the preload sup go out and inevitably a few of them will exceed 14 hours. And those guys have been up since God knows when. Anyhow, just thought I'd shed a little light on it from situations I have experienced. [/QUOTE]
