Management telling us we have to come in Saturday to unload trailers even though we'll be at 60 hours on Friday. Says since we won't be driving those hours don't matter. Is that true?
60 hour rule violation?

- Start date
Work slow and collect overtime

As long as you have your 34 hours off prior to driving on Monday there is no violation
I can't figure out how this is even a question

Yeah, call the cops and be a jackass. What a stupid statement

Someone getting hurt would never be funny.
And you're preaching to the wrong management employee over hours worked.
Forcing anyone to work over 60 is just asking for something bad to happen

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
It's amazing. Like I've said before I hate when people refer to us as dumb truck drivers but all of these DOT threads prove that's what many are.

There's only 8 of us in our building and we've never been asked to work over 60 is all. Union folks never return our calls either out here. Thanks for the input everyone!

I bet if we didn't need a DIAD they would force management to work past 60
You know it

Not trying to start a fight, but you must agree that supervisors color outside the lines when it comes to their own hours. Does it affect me? Not in the least. But I am sure if DOT wanted to be pricks, they could investigate the hours if supervisors who are also going out on the road to "help out". I imagine there are a few that are in violation. I think they are probably more concerned with the big riggers that are wobbling all over the interstate trying to hork down big gulps and vats of coffee to stay awake.

I've read some stupid crap on here, that may be the worst
They won't let us go over 60 here.

They won't let guys go over 59 here. Too many DOT violations. No extra work in the building past that point either. Local is actually not against it too
I just laugh when they ask me to unload.

I told the twilight and preload sups to not even think about asking my guys to work their sorts. They don't have the hours available and I'm not going to get caught with my pants around my ankles because a sort was short. They'll work their full DOT hours during the week. They don't need sort time.
