People keep talking about eld's but it's not only the eld's that will have you parking on the shoulder or in places you aren't supposed to be, it's the shippers and receivers as well, we only get 3 hours of on duty time, which doesn't affect our drive time once those hours are up guess what our drive time hours are getting ate up by the shipper or receiver

It's not just the shipper and receiver.
Think about all the incidents that can happen to mess up your perfectly planned trip.
EXAMPLE
Last week the freeway was closed in both directions. Not just one direction because of an accident. BOTH directions. Because of a lunatic with a gun. Think of all the traffic having to detour off the freeway. Take a secondary route full of traffic lights for 10 miles to get back on the freeway.
And this was 8 at night. Imagine the delay if it would have happened during rush hour traffic.
That's just one example. -

I know that it is not a silver bullet - but many drivers don't know about it (or how to claim it) so I thought I'd mention it with your example.snowwy Thanks this. -

"Lunatic with a gun closing both side of the highway" is one that I would go ahead and argue with an officer if it screwed my load bad enough. -
But yeah, I'd be arguing that point, too, if I got caught up in it and wouldn't make it home otherwise. -
Wouldn't be too hard to argue with the cop.
It was in the news.
Man taken into custody, freeway reopened following hours-long closure in ClearfieldDieselboss Thanks this.
