Back on the Rail with JB Hunt

I should have invoked 16 hour exception before 14 hour clicked is what I'm told.
JB does not allow pc while hauling a trailer. I think the way federal law works is you may not override to grant greater freedom but you may curtail it by choice. Meaning as an employee if I don't like company rules I have the choice to work somewhere else.

 

Speaking of companies and choices: I don't think Jb is the greatest thing since Betty White ( she predates sliced bread..fun fact) but it is better than many. There's still plenty to gripe about but I think the things I don't like are typical of most mega.
I like the regional rail and it's way more personal than otr because our terminal is specific to our unit.

 

The way one of our resident DOT's explained it; if you can do it in a taxi cab, it's PC, if not, it's not.

I don't use it. Except under that example.

Like when I leave the house or go home.
I drop the trailer where I keep my truck, then PC to the house bobtail to drop off the cats, laundry,etc..
Same as when I leave. Walk to truck, PC to house to load supplies, cats, then go get trailer.

 

Right now sitting in Oklahoma reluctant to get out of bunk because the rain is blowing sideways and it is sooo cozy with this here espar chugging away.

 

Go ahead and stay warm and cozy! If they need it today, they'll really need it tomorrow!

 

I thought the 16 hr is just to get back to where you park. Like every day. As local runs parking at same premises or terminal. Mayby they changed it?

 

You can use it 1 day a week in your 70.

 

Oklahoma. Where the wind comes whipping down the plain!

 

Oh man. Thanks for the earworm.. But it goes... OhhhhhhhKlahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the plain.

 

Also...every time I go through Gary it hits me... Gary Indiana Gary Indiana Gary Indiana that's my home towwwnnn.
