[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 3520328, member: 42691"] Here, it goes like this: if things go according to the rules, you’re hooked up, you pre-trip and go. You only get paid mileage rate for driving and 20 minutes turn around time, straight, hourly time. Then mileage pay for the drive home. When we get back, we park, post-trip and we’re done. That’s the plan. But this is UPS. Nothing ever goes according to plan. With our local agreement, if anything is wrong—you’re not hooked up, a breakdown, no seal, no loadbar, anything—you are on delay time at OT rate back to your start time. And here, this happens frequently. I’m usually only hooked up twice a week, at best. Same thing on the return. Probably three days a week, they ask me to breakdown, fuel and wash, which is OT from my arrival time until I clock out.
