    I watched a YT blog for a brand-new driver on his first solo run for a major company in the Southeast. His initial load required him to be ready for dispatch by 7 a.m., but he wasn’t dispatched until 10 a.m. He reached the receiver at noon and didn’t leave until 4 p.m. He illegally used personal conveyance to make it to his first delivery after swapping out his original load, which he couldn’t deliver on time. He also failed to account for heavy traffic on his final delivery and ended up being an hour late. Walmart rejected the load, and he had to sit on it for a day until a new appointment was scheduled.
    He spent over 3 days on a 441-mile load with 2 stops made around $300 violated HOS and a service failure. Anyone want to bet how long he lasts?

    How did he log the 12 to 4pm period? That would’ve paused his 14.
