I can only remember 2 KCM employees that come on here, but I have also heard the story from a couple of our(STL)drivers that turn KCM on a daily basis, and they are saying the same thing.

IT'S NOT TRUE! There, happy now? Thats what you wanted to hear!
That all depends if you are talking about contract or DOT. By DOT regs you can work 24 hours a day for 7 days as long as you dont drive after 11/daily driving or 70 total in a week!!! Maybe you should refresh!!
Lumpersam it's you who better go back and read your books
- specifically Section 395.3 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations which pertain to "Maximum driving time for property-carrying vehicles".As I've said earlier (and as a professional driver what you should already know) the Federal Regulations restrict when and how long you can DRIVE, not how long you can work.

That was my point, if I wasnt clear I apoligize!!
Shoeman, no apology necessary. You got it right. It was lumpersam I was responding to.

It was a stupid thing to do, and ,hopefully, I learned my lesson.
If you remembered to stamp it Approved for posting -- Dictator ECI, then its okay. You're simply exercising your authority.

Yes, v, but ECI's are never supposed to stoop that low in the first place. I did that before this sacred club was formed, otherwise I would have been excommunicated immediately.

70 hour rule
who wants to work more than 70 hrs anyway? I dont, give me 40, better yet i can roll with 30 a week come on
Work to live, not live to work
A driver that can't make a living in 70 hours has more than just an hours-of-service problem!

Just like all the rest of you, I worked with people who needed every single second of OT to maintain their lifestyle. There is no use trying to reason with these people, they are so entrenched in their narrow little quest for MONEY that they can't see beyond the end of their nose. Different people had different reasons. I knew one guy who was supporting his useless son and useless former brother-in-law. How absurd! I knew another who's brother was a rich professional, and he was constantly trying to keep up with said brother. How pathetic!
Anyway, I always tried to live within the confines of a straight forty. The reason being, the company can take that OT away at the drop of a dime. Then where the hell are you? Actually you all know the answer to that. They are in the office screaming about this horrible injustice that has just befallen them.
And I'm out on the dock enjoying the show and praying they don't notice I'm coming up on my seventh hour.They are in the office screaming about this horrible injustice that has just befallen them.

You are always saying things that I'm too stupid to understand.
of course he does!
You know he does that on purpose!You are always saying things that I'm too stupid to understand.
I'll say this slow so you can catch up
Just joshing you Larry, :console: it can be hard to understand e-mail/posting intent sometimes. I enjoy watching the suck arse whine when the boss is'nt paying enough attention to their needs and the 7th hour is a forced overtime thing in the Central States conference that you may not be aware of. The Wolf wants no OT. Now that I've drawn a picture do you understand? :smilie_132:larry retired

Thank you! That seventh hour thing had me all confused. I don't understand how it works. Out here they come to you sometime before your shift is over, when there is a need, and offer two over.
