DIJ Corp. Falsify HOS so you can drive into the sunset or until the cows come home

Force you to drive beyond the 11 Hr rule? Do tell!

 

Wow, they are evil. Holding a gun to your head making you drive....
Otherwise you chose to break the 11 hour rule.

 

This is going to be good.....only because the words, "I'm not going to be able to do it" never came out of your mouth

 

I worked for Navajo Express in the day. They were so outlaw that 3 out of 4 drivers you met at a shipper
were outlaws with suspended sentences. The profits exceed the fines. Down in the Rio Grande Valley
below the secondary check points it is common for drivers to leave their coke in the truck. Trucking is big money for everyone but the driver; look at how a company will pop up overnight with brand new equipment and then you hear in a year the directors embezzled the company and fled the country.

 

Forced? HA.

One word "No."

I take a hardline position that forced is BS. Its not a excuse.

 

Exactly. Drivers need to gut up and tell the company NO.
It's not hard to do. I had a bulk cement outfit try to run me around the clock for a job they didn't have the trucks to perform legally. Bad bidding on their part didn't constitute an emergency on my part..
I admit, I ran a little bit over. In those days you could do that. But when they tried to send me out on another run that would have given me sixteen driving hours for the day I told them no.
They fired me right on the spot. I had a job driving for one of their competitors two hours later.
You have to stand up for yourself sometimes. Nobody else will.
