    I need to figure out all the specifics, like how many hours you're allowed to drive vs how many you're allowed to be at "work". I know when folks show up at my terminal my dispatch will call out to me hey I need a hook for a driver that's here now.. am I eating up his time while he's waiting for me to hook his set or is he basically just sitting for free

    Are you a yard horse?

    If not, why can’t he bang his own pups together?

    Some the bigger terminals dont want guys doing it since they already pay spotters. Saving the 8 bucks I guess means a lot to them.

    Did they change the Hours to drive from 10 to 11 ? I thought a couple years ago it was 10.
