    This was my whole point. No wonder these guys can't get from point A to point B. No one will let them use that organ between there ears.

    Sounds like my ex idiot.He's always picking up some drivers slack and that's not even what his job is.But anymore he has to do other drivers jobs plus his.One local driver quit just for that reason.He got fired of being his dispatchers puppet.

    Oo this is great! What if you also are on recaps, have 3 hours left on your 70, are picking up 12 and start driving at 8pm? What then? Assuming all stops, when could you stop driving?
     
    Protein Hauler Thanks this.
