I blew my road test... badly.

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Uh.......no.

 

[RuthlessSupSlayer]

What do you mean?

At my other job i am salary so i get paid the same if i work 25 hours or if i work 80 hours.

 

[RuthlessSupSlayer]

Uh.......no.

I'm salary and still have to monitor my HOS. I've postponed rides before because I didn't have enough hours remaining for the whole day.

Well maybe i will change my schedule Sunday to Thursday

 

[Indecisi0n]

Oh come on.

UPS uses the 60 hr limit, I think they have to get an exemption or something to use the 70 hr limit, from what I understand.

To add , fyi... FedEx uses the 70 hour weekly limit all year round! Especially during peak season, where we are on road 6 days a week.

U max out at 14 hours on a day... but I've seen FedEx ground working that many hours, they're just not entering it into their time clock on the diads/ powerpad s

If you get in a wreck and are over your hours worked, you'll get fired, and could open yourself up to civil and criminal penalties.

40 hrs at other job + 5, 4 hour days on preload = 60 hrs. No time left. Plus you have to have adequate time off between your shifts.

Thats your call. Just know if you get into an accident they will look at your hours from the other job. Having another job or being salary isn't an excuse.

Some of FedEx isn't under the DOT HOS.

You're hung up on the 34 hours, but it's more than that.

 

[RuthlessSupSlayer]

What else am i missing here? Summary of Hours of Service Regulations

 

[RuthlessSupSlayer]

Not if you work Saturday preload.

off on Thursday at 5pm then my 34th hour would be 3am Saturday so explain that again if Saturday preload doesnt start until 430 to 5am and it has the past two weeks?
