Legal miles in 14 hours?

what do you do when you're backed up to the dock and your 14 hour runs out during the unload and the receiver doesn't want you parked for 10 hours at his dock?

 

Tell them Carrier may charge additional Fee's to the Shipper if they held you beyond your hrs.

What happens when a driver runs out of hours on the road or waiting at a receiver/shipper dock? If a driver runs out of hours on the road, the driver must go off-duty immediately until enough off-duty time is accumulated to qualify to go back on-duty. This may result in truck stops and rest areas becoming even more overcrowded. If a driver runs out of hours at a shipper or receiver's dock, driving to another location, such as a truck stop or rest area, is a violation of the hours of service rules. When a driver runs out of available hours while at any customer's facility, he or she must stay there until eligible to go back on-duty. Drivers should check with the customer to make sure that space is available.

 

grab your other book and head for your re-load...duh...

 

LOL! I just peed myself!

 

that's what I've been doing.. I just wanted to make sure it was ok.. do you label your logbooks? A, B, C....

thanks for your input

 

But what do you turn in to the carrier to keep on record ? A,B, C, or random pages for each ?

 

What would the legal amount of miles be for the full 70 hour rule. or the whole week what ever, just learning.

Would it be 11 hour drive x 55 MPH Ca. = 550 day (70 / 14 =) x 5 = 2750 miles ?

Any help would be great thanks.

 

First of all FMCSA and most safety mangers consider averaging more than 5 m.p.h. under the speed limit suspicious . You can't average the speed limit . Secondly , nobody drives 11 hours every day . You are using the theoretical figures Public Citizen nutcases use .

 

Hey no one said I was perfect Thanks for your info

 

And that's the way it is! When you average everything it's going to back fire on you! CSA2010 is almost here and guess what? You keep doing the same thing day in day out the inspector is going to look a lot closer at your book! Even as a dedicated driver on the same route doing the same thing is going to get looked at and get backed up with other data and the fines for the DRIVER just on the log book is $1000. ! The same as for the company. You get one or two of them and it becomes a moot point as you just lost a lot of money!

Quit asking these silly questions that you could have figured out your self with 3rd grade math anyway!
