    Yeah. You're wrong. Just cuz they violate logging rules. Doesn't change the reality of them being on duty. If you're in the CMV and get hurt. Even sound a sleep in the bunk. It's workman's comp. That truck is your office.

    All to save a few minutes to get an extra 20 miles at the end of the week on their paycheck.

    Nope. This may be what a regulator or desk jockey thinks. The HOS are very structured such that a drivers time is broken into blocks. The creeping behavior is to avoid messing up the HOS provided blocks with insignificant movements.

    This thread along with the 14 hour thread is why I always hated to attend mandatory logging classes. I can't remember many classes that did not take over an hour afterward with the person doing the class being hounded with mostly Irrelevant questions, or somebody getting hung up on some remote point.

    By the time you've dropped your empty, I'm already at the gate leaving with my loaded trailer. I'm not burning my 14 when yard mode exists for a reason.

    I'm in and out within 15 minutes when I did Lowes dedicated, compared to the drivers in there for over 30 crawling around. Half the time I didn't even bother stopping to enter yard mode. Never had problems getting over 3,300 miles.

    I have one place where I do drop/hook where I can get through that fast, but live load/unload is an entirely different proposition. You have no control over when you’re getting an open dock, and you have no control over how fast they load/unload the trailer. Heck, you have no control over when they’ll have your paper work ready after they finish unloading you.
     
    Speed_Drums Thanks this.

    That's fine. But your comment is still wrong. Sleeper "crawl" burns zero of the 14. Because the driver is doing split birth. Yard move burns xx minutes of your 14. Since it's on duty. Yes. You can possibly get in and out faster than the other driver. But that All depends on your loads and the dock people.
    If you're in/out in 15 minutes. That's a d/h not live load. Anyone on a d/h isn't going to be sleeper crawling. Those crawlers were obviously live load. So apples/oranges.
