[QUOTE="ManInBrown, post: 4765664, member: 46614"] Let me just add this, about five years ago UPS opened a new building about 40 minutes away from the one I did package. The plan was eventually to move certain package routes from two different buildings, to this new building. It was feeder only when it first opened. So the first peak it was open they moved about ten package routes from my building, to this building. Just for peak. Eventually year round was the plan. All the drivers followed the work. They had to load their own trucks. All ten said it was the worst experience they ever had at UPS. They said it was a nightmare. The time loading the truck doesn’t count towards drive time. They were working till 11pm-midnight every night. And this was a building. Not a pop up. They had shelter, bathroom, everything. Clearly not the same situation as what the OP would be dealing with, but I would definitely find out if load time doesn’t count towards drive time. Because even if you worked till 11pm. i Don’t know how the ten hours off rule works when you’re not driving at the beginning of the shift. I’m almost 100% positive the package drivers where I am started at normal time even though they worked till 11pm. Does the ten hour rule count, if you‘re loading and not driving at the beginning of the shift? The ten hours might not kick in until you start driving. [/QUOTE]
