Their personal conveyance option (off duty driving in e-logs) is good only for ideal situations. If you have a trailer connected, either empty or loaded, you can't use the option. Moreover, you must stay connected to a trailer unless you can drop it at a secure location. I have literally been three days without a shower, because planners kept me on freight so tight, I didn't have time to stop to take one in route, or it was a time of night where it was almost impossible to find parking at a truck stop. Or I was forced to remain on customer property because they allowed parking. I can recall a total of two instances where I was able to use the personal conveyance option in order to go to a truck stop to take care of my personal needs.

It's embarrassing, too, to have to stand at a fast food counter smelling like something dragged up out of a sewer, but you got to, because it's the only option or you go hungry.

I just bet you're a real gem on the CB radio, aren't you?

Either way, I have tried to tell them that. When I did, I got to sit for a whole day without a load. I can't afford to do that. I got done arguing with them, and having to put myself, not to mention the motoring public, at risk in order to make money. I announced my resignation last week, and will be turning in the truck this week.

I am a 15-year veteran with a perfect safety record. I am well aware of the law, and of my own limitations and responsibilities. Which is why I am leaving Heartland Express. Continuing to work for them would be gross negligence - placing myself and the motoring public at risk by giving into their chaotic way of doing business. Which I will not do for any company.
