How much overtime are the dock guys working at your terminal? At 671 it's 10 hours a day almost every day, now. 6th and 7 punches are available almost 5 days a week for the last 2 months. DS.
Hey sarge.........is that some kind of rule or something?? At 671 we can be forced to work 50 hours per work week, +2 per day. Anything above that is voluntary. DS.sarge said:Do you guys have 60 hrs in 7 days.
OK, thanks..:nerd: .I got ya now. It's like a race to 60! Some of this stuff is foreign:confused: to us guys at classified terminals. I learn new stuff every day on Truckingboards!! DS.mud said:DS,
If you get into combination (dock driver) it`s 60 hours in seven days. At 859 the Sunday thru Thursday combination bids and unassigned try for 60 hours in five days for two days off.
sarge said:Ditto at 313 (milw.). For the ones who love ot they are in heaven (me for one).
But for others they are definately getting tired of it.
Do you guys have 60 hrs in 7 days.
WOW.......I guess I have a different way of looking at things. Right now, I like my time off from RDWY. The money is fantastic, don't get me wrong, but I got 20+ years to go. I want to leave in the best health I can, and enjoy my retirement. Even the best get wore out from the dock.

Toxic said:60 in 7 for City Drivers and 70 in 8 for the Road Drivers...Dock help that is qualified to drive can work what they want to but if they are over 60 in 7 days they cant go out......
Isn't 60 enough for EVERYONE !Animo916 said:Yard jockeys can work as much as they want also as long as they don't hit the street. If they hit the street then they are also limited to 60 hours per week.
I hear ya, buck!! I tried that, she said we had plenty of money!! DS.bucksnort59 said:If I need anymore cash I'll just tell the wife to get a second job.
Yea, SL..........."Sam" thanks you too, when you work all of that OT!! I worked as much as I wanted, before the bottom guys got laid off at 671. Until they are all put back on full time, they have to "draft" me, if they want me!! DS.screwy louiey said:If you want a job and want all the OT you want come to 657. Mandatory 10 when you hit the clock and the OB needs help when you come in. Thanks but no thanks after being out on the street all day then come in and work the OB.
Don't mind some OT but I remember one guy who worked 7 days straight and was smiling like a gay guy @ the YMCA until Uncle Sam got
done with his:butthead: tax wise hhe said he won't do that again
