    It doesn't necessarily mean anything, and if you are too tired to drive, you need to take a break, assuming that was the cause. Late or not.

    Yeah, I figured once the mandate came into effect they would just leave them in the ditch. :|

    It could be like this: he/she arrived at a shipper and went on sleeper line. Then the shipper takes 8 hours to load the driver. But the driver watched TV this whole 8 hours thinking this whole time they are about done loading. After that the driver sleeps for 2 hours and starts driving, theres his/her 10 hr break, and the load has to be there in the morning. So 2 hours of sleep and whole night of driving

    Everybody thinks they are clever, like they are the first one to make a joke about ELDs not fixing every problem in the world.
