According to POLICY, DOT as well as non-DOT drivers are held to the same hours of service rules. That is, of course, unless it becomes inconvenient for the "needs of the company" at which time select policy(ies) will be suspended. Dontcha love that quicksand called 'policy'???At my station they have already stated that all non-dot employees will be working on that Sunday. Luckily I am still DOT, so I will enjoy the day off.
We only had late freight 2 days last week
Both sad and funny at the same time, that this is the new norm. Lol.
The only norm we have is that you can almost guarantee that freight will be on time monday morning. As its the only day all of the freight is already in the building when you get there. Funny thats the day they try to cut routes and shove it down your throat.
I've had lates the last few Monday's. Too many stops. Lol.
Yeah i love it, you leave 20 minutes earlier on monday but they make you absorb almost a whole extra p1 area.
My favorite is my manager was talking about how they are expecting volume to be heavy the first 3 days of this week. So what do they do? Basically running a peak plan Tuesday and Wednesday. But for Monday you ask? 6 swings scheduled to come in at Noon. lol
Must be nice. Every day of the week, there is a chance of late freight at my station. It's pathetic. On average, UPS and Purolator have been on the road an hour and a half to two hours before our first trucks roll out the door.The only norm we have is that you can almost guarantee that freight will be on time monday morning.

That's still a 40% failure rate.We only had late freight 2 days last week
That's a 40% failure rate.
Point THAT out to management the next time they whine about you having lates.
And once again you're muddying the waters.That's a common tactic. Certain couriers think that if a plane is late on, say, Tuesday, they shouldn't be held responsible for lates the rest of the week when the planes are on time. It's brilliant logic.
And once again you're muddying the waters.
It's a double standard.
That's just it though, late planes. They have been doing the exact same thing for 40 years now and it's a daily struggle to get planes out of MEM on time. I mean that's your whole business model and what you should have down pat. And I'm not talking about peak, this is any day of the week in the summer when you can't blame it on the weather. I'm talking about a plane heading to a major metro city in the same time zone. It gets frustrating to be behind the 8 ball all day long and have to explain to customers why their package is late. Couriers have to answer as to why they had lates but it's okay to have a whole plane late day in and day out that comes from the company headquarters?
Exactly. And Dano is either dense or doing a lousy job of pretending he doesn't understand the problem at hand.That's just it though, late planes.

I don't have to when the only day the CTV arrives on time is Mondays.No. You can't blame your late Thursday P1's on Tuesday's late planes.
