In gr our contract must be different because the co. must notify you 1 hr. before your 8th hr if they are forcing you on overtime! read your contract more closely .stumpersam if you dont know our contract then please dont try to quote it. contract does have a ten hr rule which does not apply if your on the street, and if your on the dock they can send you out on the street before your ten hours up. I will give you a scenario which happened today so your dumb hilly billy *** understands. 2am shift froze for 10 which means 1230 they can go but at 1200pm supervisor tells all 2am guys to see dispatch and hit the street, so 2am guys on the street at there 9.5 hr do you understand if not we can get cue cards and show you next time your in Joliet. As far as road driver not that I couldnt handle it but I have other driving skills other than going forward city guys can back up a tractor trailer. Have a great weekend by the way ccx is hiring ******.

If you would have read his scenerio, he stated that AM shift was froze (notified of forced OT), and then (just) before the 10 hr. rule kicks in, they send you on the street. Per the company, and unfortunately the union, they can do this.
It has always been my contention that the intent of the language was to Limit a persons work day to no more than 10 hours. Around here they use the language to force you to work 12 to 14 hours. What you describe is pretty much how they do it here except
(as has been described here many times) they use it to send you out on the street at 9 1/2 hours.
