[QUOTE="Pachiquin, post: 1050330, member: 32115"] After discussing it with my husband, we decided that I am going to take a 15 min break in the AM, a 30 minute lunch after 5 hours, a 15 min break in the PM and a 10 min break at the end. I will make sure to never go over 13 1/2 hours daily total (so I can have 10 hours off b/w shifts) or 60 hours weekly total. It looks like I will be getting off early every Friday. [U][B]I am not going to worry what other drivers do[/B][/U] or [U][B]if UPS is allowing DOT violations vis a vid the aforementioned "mandatory 30 minute rest after 8 hours". [/B][/U] I expect that I.E. will continue to mandate irresponsibly large dispatches in order to manipulate drivers to work off the clock, but I will never work off the clock or goof off while on the clock. I see a lot of intimidation from the center manager to make scratch even though many time studies are off. They send me out with an 11.50 planned day and are mad at me because it took me 13.50 hours to do it. Darkness, misroutes, traffic delays, misloads, new splits with which I am unfamiliar and fatigue are not accounted for in the time studies! It has been established that my methods are within specifications. I do not appreciate the bullying and intimidation; this is neither professional nor moral. I believe that karma is coming back to them for the bullying and intimidation. The few times that I have had a reasonable dispatch my day went very smoothly. We are headed off to buy a bright flashlight now. [/QUOTE]
