Remember, I said I hope I am wrong.I asked my BA on Friday if we had to be technically on a 70/8 to make the double time. He told me No. If they are working me over 60 and as long as I'm a RPCD or a 22.4, that all those hours over 60 count towards my HOS and they should be paid double time.
Now will UPS fight it... maybe, but I was also told the negotiations were recorded this time and they have interpretation.
Was your BA on the National Negotiating Committee?

Here, the Company did not let anybody drive past their 60th hour, but had many drivers work past 60 hours as jumpers/helpers on Saturday.
Ask yourself why they would do that, for double time, instead of having them actually drive?
$56.61 an hour is bad enough for a helper, but $75.48 an hour?....I can't see it.
I think the "intent" of that Article 26 language is to motivate the Company to avoid implementing the "70 Hour Rule", a driving rule, in the package car classification.

I completely agree. That's the reason I asked him the question. I'm sure it's something that will have to be filed on.
Does UPS have to pay the DOT to get an extension on hours?

Not that I'm aware of. The only rule I believe the DOT has on 70/8 is that the company must have vehicles operating 7 days a week to do it.
It wouldn't surprise me if a month or so ago UPS got the OK to go to 70/8 when they want to.
You would think they would have it just in case

Sometimes i feel like a nut sometimes i dont
at least we don't work for Celedon
Do they even need DOT approval? On the DOT website, it says it is at the discretion of the motor carrier.

I don't believe they do either but I'm not sure. I'm sure every center has to get approval from corporate.

Approval is at the region and/or district level.

Do you think corporate is going to make the call for each and every facility? They give the region/districts the authority to make that call based upon preset criteria.

We were talking about having to get approval from the DOT. The word Corporate was just saying its above center level.
