Do you run illegal on your logs?

Just outta curiousity, you work for Celladon, don't ya?

 

So I was right? You work for Celladon?

I've thought that for the past year now. I just never asked you.

 

Nope, never disconnect it..Ill still get dispatches through it and send and rec. messages..You just will not know where Im at, and Ill be where Im supposed to be when It comes back up..That is If its like the systems back in the late 90s to mid 00..Itll drive a safety man ragged until they figure it out.. Its all about a code...Those days are over though and legal is the best way..

 

Wasilla AK?
Do you know of a Group called "The Body" with association with Sam Fife (now deceased) and Buddy Cobb?

 

He hasnt been on the board here since April of last year. I looked him up. I have a good friend from Wasilla, but it's not the same guy I'm quite sure.

 

I didn't ask simply because I never found the right place/time to ask.

I just assumed that was the company. I did a little deductive reasoning. You live in Indy, and with the way you preach running legal, you must have worked for a large company. So, I ran through a mental list of large companies based out of Indy. Celadon was the only logical choice.

 

Logs, this is what I do not like about HOS. Last night I was on my way home. I shut down 1.5 hours from my home. I could have made it home legally, both 11 and 14 hours. Would have been close to the 14, but inside the window. The reason I shut down so close to home? I was tired. Could I have made it? Sure, but why risk it? Would have put me home at midnight and I would have went to bed anyway. So I crawled in the sleeper. I still have time to get my restart and pick up.

Now here is the problem. I had time to make the run legally, but was tired. Other times I would be out of hours for the day, but not tired. The way the current HOS is that most of the time if a driver wants a cat nap or just wants to get out from behind the wheel he is punished on his 14. This is what pushes drivers to over-extend themselves. Not being able to stop the clock against the 14. Yes; I know how to split log, so don't tell me that is how to do it.
