You can count on FXF doing the same thing after the merger. TP
yes i could happenAs soon as we know about the new hours of service regulations. 11 hours driving=a good chance of more closures, 10 hours driving= a major reconfiguration this spring.
The Teamsters are pushing hard to go back to the 10 hour schedule, supposedly to put more drivers back to work. Lots of runs are set up for the 11 hour schedule. It will be interesting to see what happens. TP

I can see where in the winter you may have a hard time making a turn or meet run due to bad weather, icy roads or temporay road closures due to accidents. In that case if you are going to be 1 or 2 hours short of making it back to your terminal safely, you need to call your terminal so they will send you a new driver in a car to meet you so you do not go over the 11 hours driving or the 14 hour total on duty time. Once you jump in the personal car you can still drive, but you would be officially off duty while driving a personal car.
theres the 16 hour rule for that you can use once a week

That is true. Thanks for including that. But what can happen sometimes is that if you have a high mileage run and adverse driving conditions, you are still not allowed to go over the 11 hours total driving. That 16 hours is only good if you come back to your own service center and for on duty not driving.
are you sure I think it says if the run can be normally ran in your allotted time and due to adverse weather then you get a once a week 16 hour rule to complete the run but I could be wrong.
Bigcreep, I realize they are closing 100 terminals on Jan 31. I'm talking about after Jan 31. A lot of the major metropolitan areas, like LA are not closing terminals FXF & FXFN terminals that are in close proxcimity. You can bet some of these terminals will be closing or merging in the near future.
