Doing both Yard Truck and Day Cab?

When you clock in, and not driving, it is on duty not driving and counts against your 14.

So if you worked a full 8 plus lunch, you have 8.5 hours into your 14. Leaving you 5.5 hours left.

 

Marinette to Green Bay is less than 100 Air Miles. You're exempt.

 

I spent some time up in Buffalo NY where there is a brass foundry. After loading my reefer with brass material to Lonoke Arkansas Remington Arms at 65 degrees to make into small arms ammunition of all kinds... Im told to spend two or three days and nights playing yard jockey up there in the Buffalo yard of that shipper.

here I am with a huge condo FLD 120 rocking and swaying as I do yard jockey work with our trailers. Grab empties from the corner of lot, dock em. When green lights take the loads and line em opposite corner. Go back grab another empty. Round and round she goes. Have your particular load going to Lonoke stashed out of the way so you hook onto it and go when another company tractor and his driver shows up to relieve you and do some yard jockeying on his own.

To this day I do not understand the logic of my company having us do that kind of dainty trailer work with huge OTR sleeper trucks. But we did it. Because the dispatcher asked us nicely.

Lonoke Remington Arms is a really good Customer. And a valued one at that. Just one problem that metal fluted floor in the bottom of the great dane reefer sometimes has to go to the shop and pulled up and thrown away when too many holes punched into it. What a waste. But that brass material has to be at 65 degrees in winter. *Shrugs.

Oh by the way. That work as a yard jockey? Off duty for several days in the paper logs to build up hours. Payroll shows something like 10 a hour for a bunch of hours. But not too many.

 

Only if the day is 12 hours or less also....
