National Guard While Trucking

Can you show me something in the FMCSR to this effect?

 

Nooooooooooooooo!!!

 

I guess that's a no on the FMCSR question?

Don't give in to the hype. I started with Swift, and the end result wasn't a collection of horror stories like everyone supposedly has. A lot of it is what you make of it.

 

How long ago was that? I started with them in 2012. I stayed about 3 months.

 

2002. I pulled flatbeds out of the Eden, NC yard.

 

I pulled flatbed out of the Phoenix terminal. What a bad memory that is ...

 

The larger yards always seemed a lot more politicized. Shoals and Eden flatbedders had a pretty good gig going, IMO. I guess we sorta just got overlooked versus the Greer, Gary, and Phoenix flatbed boards. I couldn't avoid Greer, and, to a lesser extent, Gary, but I did everything I could to avoid Memphis, Kansas City, Phoenix, and Decatur.

 

A member of a military reserve component, serving in either an inactive duty status, such as weekend drills, or in an active duty status, such as annual training, may log that time as "off-duty time" regardless of whether such duty time is paid or unpaid. This is consistent with the rights and benefit entitlements provided in the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (38 U.S.C. 4301 et seq.)

falls under USERA. Sorry 1st SGT but I cannot attend formation I'm out of hours on my log book!

 

And under the FMCSA rules

Question 28: How should time spent at National Guard meetings and training sessions be recorded for the hours of service requirements?
Guidance: A member of a military reserve component, serving in either an inactive duty status, such as weekend drills, or in an active duty status, such as annual training, may log that time as “off-duty time” regardless of whether such duty time is paid or un-paid.
