Slimy UPS back at it again.
You might be in violation of DOT hours.
DOT hours shouldn’t apply if operating an under 10k vehicle as a PVD.
I make sure that I don’t go over my 60hrs a week. The only reason they are giving me is insiders can’t PVD they won’t tell me why they can’t. Can I fight this?
are you getting your 10 hours off from the time you punch it in a preload and a time you punch shot is a PVD driver
Well I know at least where I'm at they make them get a DOT physical
I’m not sure what you mean. My preload start time differs almost daily, I clock out once we finish which is usually 4 hours or less ( we usually are done around 8) then I leave & come back at 9 or 9:30 to start PVD. I usually do 12 hour days or less in order to not go over my 60 hours per week. They recently let me start PVDing for my home center but they had my rate wrong so I went to get it corrected and they said my rate is wrong because the union is denying my rate as PVD so I can’t do it anymore. How is this fair to provide outsiders the opportunity to work and make good money and we are barely getting 4 hours per shift in the warehouse.
They won’t tell me why I can’t PVD they just say insiders can’t do it. They say its not in the contract to allow me to PVD but it’s also not in the contract that I can’t either
from the time that you punch in for preload until the time that you punch out is a PVD driver counts against those hours Even the hours you didn't work
I think it is because PVD are not UPS employees and can not collect workman's comp or disability for any injury.
They make PVDs get DOT physicals where you are? Thats crazy, must be a state thing.
I really don't understand it.
You aren't as helpful as you used to be...
But my heart is in the right place.
