It sounds like your employer is being lazy. It also seems that they're very serious about it; probably because they've been down that road before with past and current employees. Rules are rules if you gone be there you'll need to adhere to em. Politely ask to see the policy and avoid making the mistake; If you want to keep the gig.
Your welcome!

 

California wags the Nation.... (Tail wagging the dog...) in laws. We should sell em off to china or something to get debt free.

 

Unfortunately, your comment although popular with many of us did not help the OP one bit.

 

I know it. I get sassy sometimes. If I didnt then I would not be living. Trust me Ive already been bit a time or two by those that matter.

 

I looked in to a company (in California) as a local driver. They wanted me to take a break at 4 hours, because of California labor law, then at 8 hours because of D.O.T.
They pay scale was designed to be confusing. Low hourly pay, plus low stop pay, plus a crazy sliding scale mileage pay. 0-5 miles, so much money. 6-10 miles, so much money. What a nightmare all together.

 

You do pretty good and are a wealth of knowledge... and not just in trucking
