How to correct ignorance to HOS rules.

It doesn't say it there, but it does say the carrier has to give you permission and if it's not written then it doesn't exist and therefore it would still be on duty technically, cause the driver is still responsible.
The problem is the company probably won't give you permission because that makes the company responsible.
Optional for the company NOT the driver.

 

It never says that. Are you reading something in I'm not?
Permission never has to be written if you are thinking it does.

 

''Prove'' you have permission then. CYA

 

Based on your logic. You could never take a 30.

 

Ok. "Here's my bosses number, call and ask him."

 

I believe the new rules say you can take your 30 ''on duty''.

 

How do I know who I am calling, park over there till we sort this out.

 

And before that?

 

So basically you can't admit you're wrong.
