why is it not legal?...he is allowed to use a 16 hour rule in a 7 day period. as long as he hadn't used it already then he should be legal.

This would not happen if drivers would know the rules and stand up for themselves. It would NOT have happened to me. Hey, line drivers. You DO NOT answer to another terminals dock supervisor or TM. You answer to Central Dispatch in Duluth, GA. Stop letting these peons at these terminals walk all over you.

It's telling that the information you concentrate on is the legality of such action and not how the guy was treated by our Regional Manager Chuck W.
This is how they treat almost everybody around here. Funny thing is, we just had a quarterly meeting with Chucks boss and he did'nt have a clue why injuries and accidents were skyrocketing.
The 16 hour rule applies to those drivers who have the same starting and ending point each tour of duty
so this is a rule that applies to local city drivers or linehaul drivers in the LTL business?...because when i was a linehaul driver for years at USF Dugan and a LTL driver for United Van Lines driving all over the country as a OTR driver, i could use my 16 hour rule as often as i needed to every 7 days and would at times just to make more money.
First, to quote the rules is to make certain that the driver knows he has the rule of law behind him.

The qualifier in question is that your tour of duty has to begin and end at the same place. It isn't segment specific. If you are a road driver and you are assigned to a turn rather than a laydown you can use the 16 hour exception as allowed by the rules. Of course, one needs to remember that the preceeding 5 tours of duty have to have begun and ended at the same place (usual location of reporting for duty).
Let me ask you old timers, can you call off for bad weather? Our dispatcher tells us central makes the call, is this true? Do we still get a point?
I WOULD get payed for waiting and my 10 hrs would be up when I felt rested.here is a question i've wondered about being picked up. if i run out of hours, am i paid for waiting to be picked up? also, does my 10 start (in the eyes of central) when i park that truck and wait to be picked up?
thats something ive always wondered as well. me and a buddy of mine has asked that question but never got an answer. do you have to log on duty not driving if you're waiting to be picked up because you're still responsible for the truck and load?
Central will cancel runs. I found that out last Thursday night. They cancelled all runs out of CIN. Well, I meet a CIN driver every night, but they didn't cancel me. I got to run through to CIN. Too bad for them to leave but ok for me to go there??
