Will UPS use the 70 hour rule this peak season

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Yep. Keep your own records. Know how much time you have left. Notify supervisor before leaving in the morning of what time you will be back at the hub, even if packages are still on your truck. Be back in hub and off clock before you violate DOT regulations.

Absolutely. It's your responsibility

At 59 hours and 59 minutes, you pull over and shut her down.

If You get into an accident going over the 60 hours rules, you are toast.

Better yet, if possible let them know you are getting close ( every hour up to two hrs before) , then one final warning about an hour before and head back in... you don’t want THAT fine for going over!

Already have 47 hours as of Thursday night, rolled 20,000 pieces today. Most of our center will be over by Friday night. So when do these heads decide to screw us and use the 70 hour rule?

They are go to give you a taste of what’s coming. Start getting ready to be a 40 to 47.5 week driver... If you liked the crazy OT, go into feeders!

The 60 hour rule is a company policy... It’s not against the dot law to go over 60 in a five day work week. We do it all the time in feeders. I went 64.90 in five days last week

Makes a lot more sense in feeders than in package delivery.

Didn’t say it made sense... Just showing the law.

??? Tipping back a few lately. Everyone that goes into feeders gains 30lbs or better. I'll pass I dont mind working OT I think anything over 60 hours in package car is not good for the public or drivers.

I’m in feeders and lost wait for one. Lost the stress from package. Another I did the 50 to 60 hours in package and the public and my self were just fine when I was on the road. My stress wasn’t from delivering packages. I like that. It was from the Jackiloons I worked for that kept coming out on the road and trying to found something on me and walk me off for going to slow on the route ( Which I thought was a good honest days work ).

It's the loaders own fault for not putting them on the truck. Put the irregs on first, load around them, bag resi smalls if needed.

Oh look here, we have another new IE idiot who has never done the job giving out, "expert advice."

Hey friend, please go back to surfing YouTube and leave the work to the professionals, unless you are a comic 'cause your making the rest of us laugh at you!

When you tell everyone to keep your helper for only 2.99 hours this is what happens .

Total fail....let me guess who are the ones saying to not use helpers for more than 2.99 hours??

 

[Coldworld]

Already did that last week, should be good then by your credible source so to speak.

He knows a big Whig over at brown??? Man, how many times did I hear that from customers over the years in package...

You might want to check into that isn’t it 62.5 hours INCLUDING your breaks and lunch.... ??

Gets all weird depending on what you get for breaks. If I got 5 paid lunches on the 60/7, I could go over 63 paid hours (not DOT hours).

We got guys going over 60/70 all the time, they push it right to the limit on their 5th day and then hop in the shifter once they get back on the yard.

Agree, I had a nice route in package, didn't mind the job at all and if it wasn't for one particular PDS I would still be there so as much as I hated the guy maybe I should thank him.

We went to 70hrs like 3 weeks ago. You probably never got the memo

Same here. I was just using last week as an example

Hey..... did you hear?!! UPS Abney is promising us a busy year and few of his lapdogs agreed so it much be true????

Also, UPSer use censorship, only the management can speak and their comment must be 100% Abney positive, am with you all the way to smelling Abney's ass.

November was too quiet to be a "busy". December is going to be a sham. It is probably why he built more facility across US so he doesn't have to give us works for us "folks".
