Will UPS use the 70 hour rule this peak season

[542thruNthru]

I think it's the opposite, they can force you unless you have language saying that they can't.

I didn't mean to imply that they couldn't. I'm just wondering if he had any language on it.

I don't come in a 6th day. I'm M-friend and they can work me all the hours they want but come Saturday they will get a call every time. I'll even take a suspension. Just means in 11 days I'll be off again.

Talked to my center manager today, he said the district asked for the 70hr rule but got turned down. Will be off tomorrow with 58.2 hours in this week, cant wait for next week with all the volume brought back as missed.

 

[bottomups]

They can't force sixth day where you are?

No. Doing a lot of asking and/or begging.

Not happening with this service provider.

My BA says just call in. Don't tell them ahead of time.
Central Region.

If you don't have an attendance problem the rest of the year, what can they do?

 

[Chukie804]

My center largely ran out of hours last night because they didnt up it to 70, asked guys over DOT hours to come in and be helpers today and then had the balls to send em home. Steward is already figuring out the best way to grieve it.

Glad I stayed in bed, gonna need the rest for the show that monday is going to be.

Your boys were so confident, why cant management just come out and say we our screwed and have no idea wtf we are doing?

When you tell everyone to keep your helper for only 2.99 hours this is what happens .

If they showed up and were sent home involuntarily, you get 6 hours penalty pay in the Central.

 

[wide load]

Already have 47 hours as of Thursday night, rolled 20,000 pieces today. Most of our center will be over by Friday night. So when do these heads decide to screw us and use the 70 hour rule?

In RI, we aren’t allowed to go over 60

 

[Mechanic86]

Where they can, if needed they'll implement 70 no doubt.

I was told by a credible source that the Mon-Fri drivers will only be forced to work one Sat max this peak.

Already did that last week, should be good then by your credible source so to speak.

LOL, not that credible. I've already done it twice.
There is an entire center in my building that hasn't delivered an ireg the whole week (mostly rural routes/small trucks). I guess they were thinking it's better to fit a lot of small packages rather than a few large ones. Can't wait to see when one of the preloaders call OSHA over egress. Have no idea how they'll get themselves out of the hole they're in.

At 59 hours and 59 minutes, you pull over and shut her down.

If You get into an accident going over the 60 hours rules, you are toast.

How have you seen that situation handled where you are,here they tell the driver to punch out and wait for a ride,seems they technically are still working though,even though they went over on hours?

No. You don't punch out. Your management team is well aware of your hours. More importantly it's your obligation to keep track of your hours.

That’s what I’ve always told anyone that’s asked,take the heat in office the next morning but don’t punch out,still guys punch out and sit sometimes for an hour or two

It's the loaders own fault for not putting them on the truck. Put the irregs on first, load around them, bag resi smalls if needed.

Yep. Keep your own records. Know how much time you have left. Notify supervisor before leaving in the morning of what time you will be back at the hub, even if packages are still on your truck. Be back in hub and off clock before you violate DOT regulations.
