    Monday is when last Sunday's hours are available. It goes back 8 days. On Sunday morning you will see hours added from last Saturday.

    March 2024. Sitting in left turning lane waiting on Green arrow. Light turns green and I start to go maybe about 5 mph And the four wheeler driver was in the right lane deep in my blindspot. Rear drivetires rubbed her front bumper off, she obviously was not maintaining her lane. I don’t think she saw me/the trailer and tried to keep coming over. Previous company thinks I should’ve seen her there and let her over in front of me.. but obviously I didn’t see her and I had the right of way with the green left arrow and she had a red straight lane.
    1 month later lost that job due to having to move out of the account area, struggled finding jobs with good companies since previous company deemed my fault. Tyson gave me chance and I’ve been 60,000 safe miles with them for 6months.

    I had a job one time....... for six weeks. I ran about 75 hours one week. On Tue of that week, my supervisor told everyone that we would have to leave Saturday and run round trip to Chicago and back through the weekend.
    Come Thursday, I had about 60 hours. I asked him if he was still requiring all the drivers to run from n/e Louisiana to Chicago and back over the weekend. He said yes. I made him aware, just out of respect, that I already had about 60 hours (Thursday) and had a 700 mile round trip on Friday... which = another 14 hours or so. He made it clear that it didn't matter.
    Thursday night, I typed up my resignation. Came in Friday, ran my 700 miles. Had the above noted "about 75 hours" for the week. Already 5 hours over on my log. When I got back to town, I called him on the phone and asked to have a word with him upon getting to the yard. When I got to the yard, he was in his p/u truck about to head home. I asked; still requiring us to come in, in the morning and run a round trip to Chicago over the weekend? He answered yes. I said here's my resignation. I'll clean my truck out.

    That's how you handle that.

    Hell yeah, good work. After someone explained the recap hours to me I’m feeling much better. I completely forgot about how that rule works.

    That picture. 1) it looks obvious she entered your lane. I can see the white line. 2) she should never wear those yoga pants.

    lol dude it was a whole mess…glad to be gone and rid of maverick transportation, I pleaded with them several times to not put it on my DAC report as nonpreventable… they even put forklift accidents on DAC as tractor accidents. Still trying to get rid of those.
