    We have the option to run dedicated, but plan to run wild for at least 2 weeks or more at a time. Self dispatched. Flexible schedule.

    In other news, driving on a yard move does not tick down the 8-hour clock, nor does it keep you from taking a 30.

    So only “driving” impacts 8 and doesn’t count against a 30?

    Different company but my On Duty PreTrip also didn’t start my 8.

    Yep. Apparently the 8-hour clock only ticks down when you're on the drive line, and any time spent off the drive line is time towards resetting it.

    So that's alright.

    If only mine would work correctly. Spent an hour at the shop and with safety this afternoon. Still doesn’t work.
