HOS question - "Safe haven" rule?

transam allows us to use safe haven under those cicumstances right or wrong as it may be
if leaving a reciever empty we can pc off duty before we accept another load assignment

 

I got 45 c/m, and Im pushing 800 + miles a day. The only way I can make money is cheat the logs

 

I see your name, your age, and your location. This tells me all I need to know.

Please don't kill anyone. Thank you.

 

i think is 1 hour over your 14 hours but then again they will ask you why did you not plan your trip better knowing that they will be bad weather ahead of you?....dot loves to act like a lawyers in a court room

 

I'm jumping into this thread a little late but, I have a lot of experience with "safe haven" driving. After talking to DOT on multiple occasions about it, this is what I found out. DOT calls it "unforeseen" situations. What is unforeseen? DOT can not seem to answer what is, only answer what is NOT. Weather, construction, traffic, loading or unloading delays, ect ect, are all NOT a legal reason to use safe haven. Now, apparently, the reason DOT can not answer exactly what is, is because it is for things that do not happen and may never happen. TwoDOT officers I spoke with said they would doubt if they ever ran across a driver that used it for a legal reason.

 

With the ability to get weather reports via smart phone these days anybody trying to use it would have a very hard time convincing anybody they didn't know what the conditions were ahead of them.

 

... assuming everyone A) has a smart phone and B) uses said smart phone to check on the weather forecast.
