They claim it’s on road hours....most of us with excessive hours start early. But yes here they only focus on the 14 hour rule.

You can not be behind the wheel off of property once you hit 60 hours.

Your ass will be toast if you get into an accident.

We are running near peak volume here on both air and ground and it is the middle of summer in Florida when it should be quite slow.

We are running every available body, vehicle and DIAD that we have.

We are already running 2 AM shuttles to the airport every morning.

We had many drivers coming in tonight past 22:00 due to excessive volume.

We still can not put in enough runs. We have many cars outside on red tag because automotive will not authorize the major repairs needed and the mechanic's hours to fix them.

When will the bean counters in Atlanta figure out that if we cant handle it now that we are DOOMED at peak?

It’s all part of their new work life balance initiative.

I do agree that prior to a few years ago going over sixty or even over 12 were viewed as high treason but now the union is agreeing. Hit your sixty then you’re a jump seater.

That’s what is being said here too....it’s behind the wheel hours.

You can be a helper bit not a driver once you hit 60

You also need your 34 hour reset

Cover your ass son.

You don't need a 34 hour reset, but then you have to deal with the rolling 60 hr rule. They must be on the 70/8 rule. Certainly they(ups) aren't that stupid.

10 hour break and 34 reset still remains the same. The 14 hr rule allows just enough time to “legally” get back on road. lol

Dot audits ups all the time. You don’t need to crash to get caught. Ups will have no prob paying the fine. Do you have a grand sitting around to pay the dot?

I went over 60 hours during Prime week but was only allowed to work on property after 60. $2700 paycheck that week.

You need your 34 hour reset it just doesn't have to be two overnights anymore

That's not a violation

We have DOT check points all of the time here. I had to go back because I was leaking tranny fluid.

You might be able to handle that sometimes but eventually it will catch up with you.

I worked over 67 hours one week when the had the 70 hour rule.

I'll never do it again.
I had no problem working I just had a hard time staying focused

That just restarts your hours, and start back at 0. It is not necessary but you need to keep track when hours fall off. You can work 30 days in a row, as long as you don't go 8.5 hrs/day.

Right and my manager made sure that I understood that I could not driver off property after 60 hours.

Didn't know you were a tranny.

I don't think so

 

[Brown287]

Regardless of its legality.....it’s unsustainable.

The peak that we implemented the 70hr was the least productive peak of my career.

We were here physically but certainly not mentally.

 

[upschuck]

I don't think so

You fight it out with the fmcsa, then.

Ya, you don't need a 34 hr reset. After Thanksgiving, I don't get a reset in till New Years.
You DO need the 10 hours off between shifts, tho.
