[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1167776, member: 32753"] 728, most of this thread as of late is about drivers SORTING off the clock; records cannot show this. So for starters, a cursory glance at UPS' records-even a really careful cursory glance-won't show a problem. Unless it is a big safety issue-where such a move would be more political and about saving face-at that point why are they deploying resources to find a 'problem' that does not exist, because while it may now be against the law (actually, it always was), it hasn't and isn't a problem. In other words, sorting your truck is nothing like writing in a log book saying you were sleep for 8 hours-or even 30 minutes-when you were still very much engaged on the job. There are enough fish out there doing that-I bet FedEx Ground might have to worry-that so long as drivers are putting in their lunches and not showing work for those 30 mins, there is no problem. There is enough money to be made chasing legitimate issues, raising revenues as well as showing the public what the law is for, to focus on the not-so-easy-to-prove "legend" of drivers sorting on the clock. UPS may have deep pockets, and hundreds of thousands of drivers, but they are by no means a low-hanging piece of fruit, nor would they necessarily be an especially rewarding one. [/QUOTE]
