Today I saw a driver wearing a pistol....

Look up HR 218 police officers and retired police carry on their ID with proper department qualifacation

 

Why couldn't you if you have the hours to run is this actually a serious question

 

When I worked security detail for the Navy we did xray trucks we can see everything and I mean everything. But before you enter we ask if you have any and if you do we would register them and store them while you were on base then reissue them to you once you leave.

 

As long as you don't exceed you 70 hour on duty time. Both jobs run the same clock if I recall correctly

 

? If you could exceed ur 70 just being a truck driver why can't if you have 2 jobs? You can work pass 70 just can't drive

 

Must have been a special agent for the U.S. Marshalls.

Most of them are truck drivers now,

or Navy Seals............

 

In high security restricted areas like military bases and nuclear power plants they will ask you if you have weapons on the truck. If you do they will ask to hold it for you while you are making a delivery in the facility and will give it back to you when you leave the facility. At least that's how they did it years ago in California facilities.

 

If a driver takes a second job with a non-motor carrier, do those hours affect compliance with the hours-of-service rules?
Yes. Under 49 CFR §395.8(a), drivers must record their duty status for each 24 hour period, including all on-duty time. The definition of "on-duty time" in §395.2 includes "performing any compensated work for a person who is not a motor carrier." Therefore, all compensated work, whether for a motor carrier or not, must be included on the log as on-duty time and counted against the driver's available hours.

So you can only work legally 72 hrs in an 8 day period and everything you get compensated for counts against that. So 40 hours behind a wheel and 30 at McDonalds in let's say 5 days. You my friend are out of hours.

 

Where did you get 72 hours from. Its 70 hours in an 8 day period. That is maximum for companies that operate 24x7.
Where did you gef

 

Right, you have to record your on duty times with the other job. But let's say you work 14 hours a day for 5 days, and the weekend you work McD. You are already out of hours, but you still can be on duty past your 70. You just can't drive until a full 10 or reset




"Under the 70-hour/8-day limit, you may not drive a CMV after having been on duty for 70 hours in any period of 8 -consecutive days.

Keep in mind, that under either limit you may do non-driving work after reaching the 60-hour or 70-hour maximum, but these hours must be added into your total."
