HOS after Hometime question

I was woke up several times by the qualcomm.

Middle of the night, they would send a message.

Remember, the load must be delivered on time.


Another time, the message came in, are you asleep?

Then the phone would ring.

 

my favorite at USA was the one i would get an hour or so before i had to get up... "R U RDY 2 ROLL"
they quit that crap after safety told me to reply with "i was until you interupted my 10 hour break, now i have to start over" LMAO

 

When I pulled a box out of nashville. (star) Was at a rail road track in chicago waiting on a train.. Beep.. better get rolling hot load.... you want me to wait for train to clear tracks first????

 

LMAO!! when i was with my trainer, they sent a mssg. "we show you getting farther from final" or something like that.

we had to turn around because of the chesapeake bay tunnel.
he replied with "truck won't float" LMAO!!!!!

 

Been there done that...CFI was the worst about doing this BS !!

Why aren't you moving? You're going to be late! Well duh.....

They even called while I was sitting at a crossing one time.

 

What Mike posted about question 31 comes from the interpretations. Use www.fmcsa.dot.gov Go to Rules and Regulations. Click on whatever part you want, for example 395-Hours of service. When you go to whatever section, in the upper right hand corner will have intrepretations in blue. Click it and get questions and the guidence associated with it. Will answer alot of questions you may have.

 

This old retired federal DOT official wonders how anyone can safely drive down any highway while videotaping? That's no different that using a cell phone. You're not concentrating on the specific issue at hand. It tends to make one an unsafe driver and no different than reading a newspaper, magazine, some other document, or fixing one's hair in the rear-view mirror while drinking coffee and steering with one's knees which we've all seen driving down highways looking down at 4-wheelers

Gee, old Fed dude, how is it possible? You must be before the age of DASH MOUNTED CAMERAS. Perhaps you should try a little different tone when doing the "know-it-all" attitude.

 

From the time they (the company) says off duty time until I am back under a preplan, I am not answering no messages from any QC, (esp not every hour on the #### hour- they can have their keys back if its the case) I will take phone calls up to a resonable time. as I've learned from my mistakes in other parts of this site OFF DUTY means just that OFF DUTY. truck parked and secured, not even getting back into it, unless my down time is at a truck stop then you have no choice sometimes to start the truck but under no obligations am I answering the QC,......

 

WOW. I sure like driving for a small Co. None of that Electronic Junk! They give me load on Fri that has to be delivered After my Weekend break! I bring my Truck and load home and shut the phone off and don't look at the thing till Sunday Night or Monday morning!
