Hey UPSer's,
I am a 25 year employee, 20 year driver who had a stroke last November. I fully recuperated within a week and have been fine ever since. The center manager had me go to the company doctor before returning to work and the dr. pulled my DOT card for 1 year (per federal DOT regulations). The center manager has found work for me so far (in the building) and I've been getting my 8 hours at drivers rate. Sounds good so far. right?
center manager and other sup's in the building have been going out of their way to make me feel like I'm a piece of
for being on the payroll. I have always worked hard and I take pride in whatever they have me do. I do not have enough space to type all of the BS that I've had to deal with in the past 6 months. I just took it as just another day at UPS while I was providing for my family.
I recently found out that Indiana DOT does not regulate chauffeurs license with the same rules as CDL. According to Indiana DOT, I could have been driving this entire time.
I just got back from the company DR. to renew my DOT card and was denied and informed that they have to follow federal DOT guidelines and the fed says I'm off for a year, with no differ from chauffeurs to CDL.
Has anyone ever heard of how to deal with this?
Any and all help is appreciated!
God Bless
