    Hours of service rules just changed for these instances:: you can now legally use personal drive time to find a place to park

    I know that, and the amendment helps, but not when making the appointment time in the first place is in conflict with regulated hours of service, or Mr. Murphy decides to give you a mechanical problem causing a delay....

    I’m just a dedicated company driver: I’m not sure about that.. if I didn’t make a deathbed promise to take care of a little dog until it’s time to go(I love her lots, now, tho) lol.. I wouldn’t hesitate to become a private fleet driver: only other reason why I wouldn’t after having done dedicated for Walmart: slip seating... ugh... after 18 years of driving I just don’t think I could do that.... no dogs allowed: slip seating until you qualify for an assigned truck and driver facing cameras that I’m not too sure about( I have a forward facing camera of my own that I love) other than that; the guys are great at my DC: nice and kind; the routes aren’t too bad: except some of the vendor loads suck... lol.. I did a blindside off a small driveway yesterday and a 20 hour loading at a vendor the day before: Lol: but, I guess what else is new to all of us out here? It’s a job; and I love my job: at least for a few more years.....

    I know that, but when I bust my butt to get there as quickly as possible (and arrive in as few pieces as possible, which would be ONE), within HOS REGULATIONS, even the best of us get there and the appointment time is right at hour 5 of a 10, and you could only get within 30 MINUTES before you needed that 10.....
