Yeah, and Newburgh is closing soooo much earlier! (Sarcasm). I guess we'll have to give it some time.I know it happened in the Boston region.
Pilot project. Because of e logs. Several areas are trying it.
Ya tell me about It these fac's need to fix the management and supervisor problems before they need to work on earlier cut times this crap of putting 6 hours plus on a dock with a 486 mile run is for the birds I wanna make money dont get me wrong but wow talk about no life what so everYeah, and Newburgh is closing soooo much earlier! (Sarcasm). I guess we'll have to give it some time.
At our terminal ( not an FAC ) the city drivers are held up by our longest run getting back late everyday. Even if the guys leave on time the lady that runs that sector holds them - even though she knows they have a 4 hour drive ( in perfect conditions) How in the world can the start time for the P&D runs get bumped up until some MAJOR changes are made to how things are done through our WHOLE system?The bottom guys will not be-able to run two long runs in a row at my barn... Will be impossible to get back in time to dispatch at the new improved time. I think the clean- up- guys at the end of the line should get a break, 3 or 4 guys getting their a half hour later will not hurt anything. Many breakers hanging anyhow. Are they gonna have the City guys start earlier?

We were told management wants earlier close times. The lack of communication here never ceases to amaze me.Pilot project. Because of e logs. Several areas are trying it.
They want earlier close times because of e-logs. They know playing footloose with your 16 rule, and get it back, no one to get you Saturday aren't going to cut it.We were told management wants earlier close times. The lack of communication here never ceases to amaze me.
I agree, it would just be nice to get the whole story from our tm. Heck, it would be nice to get any story from my tm! Weekly communication meeting, just ten minutes is all you need!They want earlier close times because of e-logs. They know playing footloose with your 16 rule, and get it back, no one to get you Saturday aren't going to cut it.
The 16 rule is only 1 in a 7 day period, & if you work 14 hours & 1 minute that counts as your 16 hour day then can't do again for 7 more days....They want earlier close times because of e-logs.

True. But it's abused constantly. Guys have to go over to get home, whether it's been used during the week or not.The 16 rule is only 1 in a 7 day period, & if you work 14 hours & 1 minute that counts as your 16 hour day then can't do again for 7 more days....

Exactly right, electronic logs are the best thing that to ever happen to trucking in a long time....The 16 hour exemption rule CAN NOT be used just because you have an idiot for a supervisor and he/she doesn't know how to dispatch.
It can be used once a week for any reason.The 16 hour exemption rule CAN NOT be used just because you have an idiot for a supervisor and he/she doesn't know how to dispatch.
Agreed.Exactly right, electronic logs are the best thing that to ever happen to trucking in a long time....
