It doesn't matter how minute you think a mistake was. Also, that wasn't a mistake because you CHOOSE to continue driving with a blown tire. A...
I'm not talking about your HOS, but driving with the blown tire. As a line haul driver you are given a few extra hours a week on your 14, so...
Sorry, but not everyone spends all day on 4 lane major highways. If you can drive my route with a 53' trailer and a sleeper birth during rush hour...
You are allowed to drive the vehicle to a parking haven where repairs can be made. This doesn't mean drive to a repair shop 50 miles away if you...
