[QUOTE="10 point, post: 1510337, member: 52520"] Ever consider the DOT requirement that it's the employee's responsibility to be fit for work? A driver in our local had a child admitted into the local hospital. The driver felt that he was too fatigued to return to work after not getting enough rest to be safe on the road having spent the evening at the hospital with his son. He wasn't sick but didn't want to be at risk of injuring himself or others. He took himself out of service. This is just one example. At what point do you understand screw the "approved" day off route and adhere to Federal law that says that it's the employee's responsibility to report healthy and allert enough to operate a commercial vehicle? You evidently don't get it. UPS doesn't rule the DOT and your liability is to the DOT and then your DOT governed job. Taking yourself out of service the evening prior to the unscheduled day off is "no later than 1[SIZE=16px] hour prior to start time".[/SIZE] Federal law trumps UPS "rules" every time every day.
