What's your thoughts on new possible service hours

If you know how to tell your company to piss off in such a way that won't get you fired, it puts more tools in your arsenal to run your clocks the way you want to run them. If you're a bloody sycophant, it makes it easier for your company to walk all over you. In short, I dig it. Mostly because I know how to tell Swift to piss off, and still keep my job

 

Also if you hit a traffic jam and flip over to on duty you can take your break sitting there lol

 

waiting at shipper/receiver 3 hours in truck sleeper ... log it as sleeper and you have time to drive your planned miles. this is it.

 

Or any number of reasons you might want or need 3 hours.

 

Now we can work 17 hours a day instead of 14. Yippee!!! Where do I sign up????

 

Simple.
Switch off the drive line after you pull in. Start your 30 on duty’s a you begin to fuel. Finish fueling. Use on duty yard move to go park. Park. Go off duty and go into the TS, bathroom, coffee, or whatever. It’s better. The 30 takers at the fuel island will be able to move, or at least should be able to move. No way this should make it worse.

 

It would be a rare deal for me to log 14 hours a day anyway.
Heck even back when I had to tarp, and logged an hour loading, I have been commended a few times by the dot for logging my actual loading time instead of 25 minutes. lol

As far as the 3 hours, unless I broke down or something out of the ordinary happened, I don't know of any work I would need it for.

 

Company drivers may not like this but I liked it.

 

Ya 14 hours is already to much. Cant believe folks are excited to work an additional free 3 hours... Absolutely mind boggling.

 

Why are you saying working, when this gives a guy the chance to take a nap,chase a waitress or any number thing he wants or needs to do.
