How do you trip plan?

Unreasonable work expectations. That's the legal term.

Plus if they add a threat on top, don't you think it's harassment?

Also, this happened at 2 well known companies that have a reputation for treating drivers well. This was not a 1099 outfit or something similar.

 

No.

 

I call BS!!

How is that possible?
If you sleep in until 9. Go eat breakfast at the round table
Truck a little
Go eat lunch
Truck
Break dinner

I just can’t get the math to work

 

So you are saying making a threat is OK?

 

Yes. As long as it doesn't involve violence.

 

So threatening a person's job over unreasonable work expectations is OK?
As long as no violence?

 

Makes no difference when you start, it depends on shipping time, yet.. wake up, bathroom, coffee if must, kick the tires, go... 4-5 hrs drive, 2-3 hrs break: eat, shower, nap, movie, fuel if need to within break, drive another 6-7 hrs, sleep 7-8, repeat.

 

I was being a smart axx
There’s a lot of guys who can’t get 4-500 miles in and wonder why they’re going broke at that $1 plus fsc job

 

Give us an example. Saying a 60mph average is meaningless without an example of what was asked of you. A 60mph driving average is doable out west with little traffic, even in a governed truck, provided you can keep the door closed and run.

I’m not justifying their threat or saying that it was ok, but if they have a whole bunch of guys doing similar runs then it’s not an unreasonable expectation from their point of view. If you can show that nobody else is capable of doing it either then you’d have a better case.
