Common use of Daily rest Clause in Contracts

Daily rest. The employer will provide each driver the amount of hours of rest between shift assignments as required by the Department of Transportation’s rules, however, in no event will a driver receive less than eight (8) hours of rest between shift assignments. A driver who has not had the required amount of rest as defined by D.O.T. rules, but in no event less than eight (8) hours from the time he actually ceased working (punched out) may refuse additional assignments until the expiration of the required amount of rest pursuant to DOT rules but in no event less than eight ten (108) hours. If a driver refuses an assignment prior to the expiration of the required amount of rest as determined by D.O.T., but in no event less than eight (8) hours, no casual driver will be assigned to accept the assignment refused, but a junior regular driver may be assigned the refused run without a bypass obligation. Notwithstanding the above language on Daily Rest, the employer may call to notify a driver of a schedule start time prior to the expiration of the rest period and there shall be no holding of work. In the event hours of rest are changed to eight (8) hours, then all drivers within their shift will have an option for either eight (8) hours or ten (10) hours of rest between the time he actually ceased working (punched out) and his next regular starting time due to being off the clock for ten (10) hours. A Driver opting for ten (10) hours off the clock shall not have work held for him nor shall he be entitled to be paid for any hours he may miss from his regular starting time due to being off the clock for ten (10) hours.
