Sure enough he was right.
My ELD has somehow become disconnected from the GPS. So it doesn't know where it is. I am on a load from Givens to Berea, and got called twice today by two separate people who wanted to know if I was still on the yard. Because the ELD GPS isn't working, so their truck-tracking software shows me still parked on the Richmond yard despite the fact that I was in Beckley when they called. -
Got a load heading south to get me to my first cruise... but... it drops in Sanford at 1:30AM... which is 2:30AM before unloaded... the a three hour trip to home... which is 5:30AM... grab a couple hours of rest then head to the boat... great taking a mini vacation on two hours of sleep... great start to a cruise... napping in the cabin.
and here’s where I have issue with both HOS and Company Policy... I stopped and took a 10 on an on-ramp... but... now I have to wait another SIX HOURS, on the same on ramp, before I drive to my LUL... because if I start now, I can bump the dock and wait, but then I’ll roll beyond my 14 and can’t legally drive... and our 30 minute of PC can’t get me home which is three hours away.
so now, instead of driving fresh after a 10, I’m driving into the night on the tail end of my day... then rushing home to grab two hours of sleep before starting the mini vacation.
safety first... just doesn’t add up to me at times
I know, I’m sounding like some veteran trucker claiming I know when I’m tired or unsafe vs rested and safe... and not some government agency... lol ... silly thoughts.jarhead0311 and Finfn1372 Thank this. -

"Colton yard in California"
It's been about 5 months since I have come to the Colton yard in California.
U.S. Express have made a couple of changes...
Coming in all Abilene trucks need to get into the right hand lane now!
Reason for this is that we have now our own entry lane with a very small sign.
The others lanes are for C.R. England trucks and are block.
Coming out you have to go behind and around there shop! And then follow the only exit lane towards the right.
Keep your eyes wide open... There is now a lot of people traffic.
I Hope this helps any one coming this way specially at night. I have included a picture.
Finfn1372 Thanks this. -
