I'm having those issues right now and know that might be occurring where as I spoke to the owner and dispatch etc. Now, everyone's on board however I feel that their trying to max out my Eld. There is no room for error on my trip sheet from call to call. Besides 1 hr not including my 30 min Break & back in unload time at 4 different customers on a 560 mi run. Their mentality is 'other drivers did it' but possibly their trucks aren't governed @ 65 mph like mine is?

And what, may I ask became of those "other drivers"?
We're they promoted to some better position? My bet is that they were ran absolutely ragged, had to quit, and work somewhere else.NorthEastTrucker, Another Canadian driver, Boondock and 2 others Thank this. -
Transam often forced me to drive over my 11/14. They would set the drop appointment at the 10th hour knowing #### well its going to take the receiver 3-5 hours to unload me. Then I would be forced to PC out of the receiver in the middle of the night and pray I could find a spot to park my truck somewhere.
Also when it came time for me to go home for hometime they would route me to Dallas for a drop (usually when I had like 68 hours left on my 70) then from there tell me to PC my way home to houston. Quite a few times I had no time on my 70 so I had to drive dirty 4 hours just to get home. I hated those basterdsAnother Canadian driver Thanks this. -
“Other drivers did it”. The ol’ faulty comparison fallacy. The idea that just because Driver A did it and driver B did it, then therefore driver C should also be able to do it. I hate when trucking companies or dispatchers use that ridiculous fallacy

My point has less to do with the O.P. and more to do with the notion that all CDL drivers are these homogeneous, monolithic, employees all capable of the same skill set or we all acquiesce to violating the HOS, and that’s simply never the caseLast edited: Oct 23, 2022
