[QUOTE="hypocrisy, post: 806401, member: 9500"] Actually, you can work as many hours as you want, you just can't drive after 11 hours of driving, 14 total hours, and without 10 hour of rest (so in your Walmart example, as long as the air driver had 10 consecutive hours off between his Walmart shift and his UPS shift, they would be fine). Lets say you pulled a full 14hr day/ 11hr driving as a Feeder driver, you could even come in and operate a shifter for as many hours as you felt safe doing it as long as you have 10 consecutive hours off before you drive on-the-road again. You can even exceed the 60 hour per week limit as long as you are not driving after 60 hours and have 34 consecutive hours off before driving again. So if you want extra hours, look to your preload or twilight/night sort for opportunities and help out the overwhelming number of UPS Package Drivers who would like relief from the forced overtime. If you don't like my suggested language, write your own suggestion or even just say "HEY DOT, we're UPS Package Drivers who feel we're being worked excessively and would like you to take a look at our concerns!" Of course, if you like the way things are tell them that too. UPSers are woefully underrepresented in the comments so far. It's a whole new crew at the FMCSA and they are listening to [B]YOU[/B] so take advantage of it. These are Rules, not Laws, so there is plenty of room for future interpretation and changes. Don't let the past fool you, until Congress steps in and makes an HOS Law it's going to be a lot easier to get changes pushed through with the current FMCSA. [/QUOTE]
