It might not exactly fit the legal definition of "coercion" but it's still underhanded and sleazy. I would bail. Someone will take you. There are way too many job openings out there to tolerate even the suggestion of breaking the law.

I guarantee it part of dispatcher training at EVERY mega and many other companies. Ok boys and girls we are going to teach you how to ask a driver to violate HOS with using the legal definition of coercion."
Toomanybikes Thanks this. -
OMG. Make a new appointment date and time for what you can do legally.
Document everything as you go so when or if they fire your ###, you have a case for the State to go after them once you get home. (Take your logbooks with you.)
Do not get pussyfied into being horsewhipped into driving illegally... find safehaven my foot. It's your ###. Your money on the line. Maybe you kill a family being over hours? They dont give a ####. 50 people take your job next week. Half are hungry and will go over hours.mjd4277, superflow, born&raisedintheusa and 2 others Thank this. -

Seems everything is going downhill with that company since I left.lol

Is it possible the dispatcher meant that the shipper wouldn't let you sleep there, so you would have to secure the load and leave the shipper and find the nearest place to safely and legally park, and that that would be ok?

Running over your 11/14/70 and claiming safe haven does not work unless you're hauling certain haz-mat loads. Dispatchers use this to get drivers to willingly violate their HOS.
