Reasonable expectations for HOS?

If you have family think of them everytime the company subtly pushes you to do it the wrong way.

 

Maybe check to see if there is a better route for you to take. Talk to some drivers to see if your doing something different. If it all pans out then weigh your good with the bad. Its your license at the end of the day. They can close there business down and change the name and do the same thing under a different carrier name and id. You have to live with giant beard on yours.

 

Log it legally, use their route, run yourself out of hours... let them figure out what to do next.

 

all drivers have to do is say no.if company/dispatch or his boss doesn't like it and will not agree to it find another job.once they start wanting you to do something to benefit them and what u feel is unsafe they'll keep on pressuring you.

 

Is your departure time a misprint? Are you leaving at 5 PM or 5 AM?

If it is 5 AM and they want you done by NOON on the same day, that is 7 hours for a total of roughly 600 miles? That alone works out to over 85 miles per hour without stopping.

If it is 5 PM and they want you done by NOON the next day, that is a total of 19 hours with only 1-3 hours to unload.

Either way this sounds crazy. I'd let the illegal immigrants do it. Not worth getting caught.

 

5pm to 7am is 14 hours, and they still want you to drive more?

 

With that beard you could hide your extra log sheets. I'm gunna go against the grain and say if you can safely do it and the money is worth the risk.... get it on. But know and respect your limits.

 

What we think matters not are you happy with it is the question
