Schneider Chat Room version 2.0

If you still have hours to drive on your clock after 12.5 hours then you should be able to turn 10 miles. Even if you burn the last hour and a half on the first leg loading and securing the tractor. Granted alot of it depends on the tractor.

This is just me, yet the company can expect 14 hours out of you, it is part of the CDL. Now if you were complaining that you had 13,5 hours on the clock and wanted you to go 10 miles, yes that is different. Yet alot can be accomplished with ninety minutes.

 

I would've refused the 10 miles too even if I had 10 hours on the clock provided you're paid mileage and not hourly of course after working 12.5 even on hourly I wouldn't have done it.

Having a CDL does not give a company the right to 14 hours of your day IT'S your CDL not theirs and it tokk me 3 hours today to go 5 miles so I'm with the op I'd of never done it either.

 

10 miles in certain cities will take 30-45 minutes. Driving 16 miles from the sw side of GB to the NE takes 23 minutes from pulling out of the yard to pulling in the driveway of the shipper. And we don't have traffic in green bay (just the occasional gawker jam up when a pretty cow is near the highway.)

At 12:30 into the day I am no longer showing hours available. Too much risk, not enough reward. Ask me the same question two years ago and Ibwoukd have pulled up my big boy pants and gone to work. The changes in how the QC records drive time, the obsessive cya of the safety and OPs group have changed my outlook.

Now if my dbl was going to pay me AND take me out for fresh peach ice cream then the math changes.

 

I give the company 12 hours of my day, if i can do it driving i will, if they want me to futz around sitting in docks and crying on TTR, so be it. But as soon as my clock starts 12 is what it is
