So, I started a couple weeks ago in Rockford. And, this is the first company I have worked for lately that forces a rolling 60 hour week and ignores the 34 hr reset that DOT allows... Why is this does anyone know? Why force us to work less and create a false labor shortage. Today alone I heard one of the supervisors talking about losing 8 guys to the rolling 60.... but they all would have been able to work with the 34 hr .... It is a bit retarted in my own opinion... Since when does the Union or the Company put them selves ABOVE the goverment on rules of drive and work time?

To keep guys like you from working excessive and forced overtime.
 
They also have way more problems than overtime issues to worry about. Good luck with your new position at the black hole.your gonna need it.
 
Everybody constantly bitches on here, am I the only one that likes his job? If I bitched half as much as most of you guys, I would find a different job! Life is way too short to always be negative, smile, enjoy the day, the glass is half full!
 
How many hours you want??..LOL

We had guys jumping, diving, running, off the open board cause, they worked too much..and that's without the restart. Even the short bids were gobbled up
 
welcome to OVERTIME HELL !!! driver shortage so they are working the hell out of all city & line haul drivers !!! its called have no life trucking !!!
 
I think it is more resentment than bitching!!!! You have guys that have put 30 years or more in to the teamsters union or Holland or where ever with the assumption that after all those years busting your butt for these people you would be able to retire and enjoy time with your family after all the hard work you gave these people!!! Then you have it all taken away by people who are still gonna get there big bonuses and full Salaries every year, i don't know how anyone could expect people to feel any different than they do!!!!! For every 50 people that would love to leave here there probably isn't a hand full of jobs to go to, I understand your point, but I also understand why people who have basically been robbed would feel the way they do..... Before we were all robbed of what we had been working for you couldn't get no one to say a bad word about this place! It's hard to not vent!!!! And it's only gonna get worse, their not done yet by no means!!!!!

Once you start making some real money and get your bills paid up, you will probably decide that you would rather work to live rather than live to work. Then you be glad for the rolling 60.

Your weekend isnt short enough?
 
Your weekend isnt short enough?

My weekend is 2 days either way.... If it was the 34 hr restart I would be fresh and ready to go monday, with this rolling 60 crap i have to recap daily to figure out if today i can work 9 hours or 10.... the only weekend work here is by voulnteer, and there are plenty of the early morning guys who take that when ever it comes up. I just want to know what the honest union / holland / YRC ruling is behind it. If DOT were to check our daily logs and from what is going on they might walk in and do any day now. Do you realize how much crap the company as awhole would be in because of this? But, then again like most people alot of you don't care. I see it on the dock daily people just letting freight go out any way they can, who cares about damages or packing a load properly, lets just make more work that we cant cover so we can just keep feeding the problem instead of solving it. I left a company because they started on a track that would destroy them selves thanks to the management. and I ended up at one that is going to destroy it self because of the employees......

Then leave. Go somewhere where they recognize the restart. If you have a problem adding to 60 for a recap go back to your non union e-log.
 
There is nothing that says companies HAVE to use the restart. It just says they CAN. So no, the company wouldn't get into any trouble for recapping logs like was done for decades.

Why do that when in a few weeks i'll get put on and can care half as much as anyone else here, and get paid to do half the work of any real company...

Thank you, I was told at my previous job that the 34hr rule over rode the rolling rules when it came in to effect.
 
If you get enough time off to cover the 34hr reset you can call Central and tell them you want to use the 34hr reset and Central will start your hours from zero that week. Good luck getting 34hrs off in the way the law requires.
 
The IBT says no to the 34 hour restart, so is it really right for a hand full of people to use it anyway? We all, myself as well hate the way we have been back doored on every thing we thought we were working towards! I just think it isn't right that a chosen few does it anyway!!!! All it does is open the door to work everyone some silly ass amount of hours to keep up with the greed of the chosen few who choose to use it!!! Contrary to how some people feel their are drivers who have a life outside of this place!!!!!!

Amen to that.

To each their own, but if most people would stop spending like a drunken sailor they wouldn't be forced to scrap for every dime that they can get their hands on. They'd be able to spend more time with family and friends and enjoy life.......all while helping to raise their kids and improving society.
