Just some of the stupid things I see

Unless you get the jackholes that don't understand that, like I did.

 

And who determines what "vicinity" will include? It is these broad regulations that leave the "intent" of the law open to mis-interpretation.

So just where IS the "black and white" on this?

 

Behind you with the flashin' red and blue light on!

 

Smar-tazz. . .

 

Seems clear enough to me. 1. You can be going to your home with no cargo and no dispatch. 2. You can be going from your home to your terminal with no cargo or dispatch. 3. You can leave the location that your using for your break for personal needs but, you must return to the same location to complete your break. I don't see where any other use is authorized. Per the dictionary, unladen is defined as no cargo. If your manifest shows the trailer is your cargo, then you can't pull it. Otherwise, the empty trailer may be attached. Keep in mind that when you find someone who needs to define what "is" is you may still have a problem.

 

You and all the others that believe that go right ahead and keep believing that but don't come on here whining when you get a out of service ticket or false log book violation.

 

Tell me a reason why you would be doing this? Just to go to the terminal to hang out? IMHO I think that would be a real hard one to pull over on a LEO

 

Reporting for work is not the same as being under dispatch. And the regs specifically state you can be going back to the terminal.

 

Good luck with that.

 

DB, did you take some pot stirring lessons from Mastertech or something?
You sure enough stirred it a bit with this topic!
