Why don't drivers who are regularly late get fired?

Because we live on Tulsa time.

 

With a speed limited truck that’s running e-Logs what can you do to correct it?

 

Now I'll have that tune stuck in my head all day. At least it's one of my favorites.

 

Other than running as soon as the log allows after break/reset and keeping the door closed there is nothing you can do.

I tell dispatch that other than a traffic, weather, construction or something else I can't forsee I'll be on time . But they need to take what a truck GPS says it'll take and then add in 1 to 1½ hours for life. I'm required to do a :30 break and there is always the possibility I'll need:30 for a potty emergency.
Also when I have clear roads my truck that's governed at 72mph can average 65mph if I'm on it. All this has to be considered when estimating arrival times.

 

Or JJ Cale

 

That idea was drummed into my head as a kid.

Then I got out in the real world and ground out that showing up more than 5 minutes early was just as disrespectful of the other person's time.
