NO, Im saying, you need to leave yourself more wiggle room and be more careful so it doesn't happen. Whether DOT bothers you for a few min or not, your still liable if you get in an accident, even if not at fault. With proper trip planning I have only had a DOT violation once. it was only becuase i was kicked off the property by a shippper that took 6 hours to load me. Yes, that sometimes happens, but planning well and insureing it happens as little as possible is important. If i cut it so close that missing an exit will put me in violation....I will be concentrating very hard and making sure I don't miss it.
Silly HOS question

This has been almost as fun as a "what kind of drug test does Big Truck Company XYZ do" kind of thread. You guys have truly thrown out some food for thought, for sure. I appreciate everyone's feedback and I hope this helps other new drivers in the future. Love this community!
