Need to know

If you are burning their fuel to get home, it only makes sense that they shouldn't have to pay you deadhead miles too. I look at it like this, if you can legally use off duty driving to get home, then you shouldn't get paid. Off duty= not working. I don't know many people who get paid after they "clock out."

 

I'll bet if you check the miles, they will equal those from Richmond to your pick up.

Here's one for you, was deadheaded home (Macon Ga) from East Point Ga, and Monday I was deadhead all the way up to Cartersville, Ga to pick up a load on the yard. 50 miles from East Point to home, 100 miles from home to Cartersville. Was paid 32 deadhead miles. Sometimes it benefits you, sometimes it doesn't. It's the cost of going home with their equipment.

 

If you are not under a load or not dispatched to pick up a load you can drive off duty, the Qualcomm even has it as an option. It will show as off duty on the graph and is commonly referred to as line 5 listed as OFF DUTY DRIVING. It would equate to the equivalent of commuting to or from your home and is legal. You also have the ability to go to and from a restaurant on off duty driving without messing up your 10 or 34 hour break. MILLIS gives you 30 minutes per day of authorized off duty driving.

 

Also, if McElroy does that then good on them. There are very few places left that pay "hub miles."

 

And I have had my logs checked at the scale house by my house while on off duty driving and had no issues.

 

Clearly, you aren't familiar with any politicians.

 

Very few politicians work even when clocked in!
