Does anyone know if a nonessential company can do forced dispatch?

I do wonder sometimes.

How do you force a dispatcher to do anything at all?

 

The regular old flu is blamed for between 20k and 60k deaths a year.

 

That's why I mentioned the US. So we're at least 50% higher world wide in 5 months and still accelerating.

 

I threatened to quit a awhile back you'd be amazed what that'll get them to do.

 

That 20k to 60k is in the US, according to CDC.

 

I know for a fact memphis has already started arresting people for nonessential travel and movement. So that's why I'm asking my question. I cant afford a ticket or jail time for an occasional trailer swap. When they are a nonessential company. And I like my job but I will "quit" if pushed. But I don't feel I'd be quitting when we have been shutdown since March 22nd. And state bill has closed us down as of know till April 21st.

 

I understand that but the government says my job is closed at least till April 21st
So do they get to override the President and the governor?

 

If you are in a semi tractor, you essentially own the Nation. No one is going to stop you for nothing right now. They cannot assume you are not perhaps involved in suspended HOS effort.

I might be a nutter to some, but its a form of warfare. Roll that truck and don't worry about freedoms.

 

If your employer is physically CLOSED by Governor Order, YOU are out of work. Go find unemployment. They will only pay the federal 600 weekly until I think 1 aug and then thats it.

 

Yes it makes me feel important when i can haul concrete beam and shingles and plastic baseboards lol. The only thing i hauled in this pandemic that is really needed was some plastic crates they use on the farms for produce and vegetable.
