Yellow | Logging off duty / while waiting for freight warning letters

[ROLLBACK]

Each company usually issues documentation regarding how much off duty time a driver can log for meals/breaks during a tour of duty. Some used to issue wallet sized cards drivers could carry with them.

Company /Union not trying to educate only abuse for their greater good. Slavery never ended just took on a new form (Debt/uneducated )

Our contract can't allow or force us to break any laws but can prevent us from certain behavior that the law allows. No issues there.

I agree, not allowing the 34hr rest allows ever teamster to work.

When we go to elogs and show up for our run if the load isn't ready that means a truck hasn't been hooked yet how will you log on duty?

The time clock also puts you on Duty for start times. Its hooked together

Allowed a member to get trips for benifits. Now you need three tours to receive benifits, when I first started it was hard to get thoes three trips. Hog board. Know the cookies is crumbling, you can work 8 days a week and 25hrs a day.

I've received letters for going over my 70 when we were busy. It was my fault I didn't keep track. No need to keep track now it's so slow

Yellow days we had time sheets, when you showed up you punched your time sheet, no punch no delay pay. Logs had to match your punch. E-punch. (LOL)

If the load isn't ready there is not a truck to send the info too for the elog.

Don't worry Mook. I am sure it will all work out. Try not to let it totally consume you.

Thats the way it was when I was there.

If we get these wages back up to par, their will be no need to short log, you'll be logging heavy to get time off to spend it.

My friend, people faught for these work rules and conditions, and some died. If you choose to give these companies all your time, it's ok with me, just do me a favor any PLEASE let them know to only, and only take advantage of your kindness. Back in 2013/2014 in the mou, the company expressed an issue with absenteeism. I disagreed, I said it was a driver shortage problem. If you feel working 80+hrs a week is a good deal for yourself (two full time jobs) I'm happy for you, it better for me, shouldn't realy be an absenteeism problem. Should balance itself out.

I said I log it on duty. I'm just saying legally you don't have too. Nobody has ever said you can't leave the property at least in kcm anyway

At my terminal we can't reset, might be the problem. Check with whoever issued the letter and your local on any agreement. Letter are used for correction and understanding, you also must seek that understanding. Not here, through your local. Documentation, language, agreements between company and local. Dont get fustrated cause it is challenging. Good luck.

Say what y'all want but I don't make this stuff up. This is straight from the FMCSA website and is there for all to see.
Question 10: How does compensation relate to on-duty time?

Guidance: The fact that a driver is paid for a period of time does not always establish that the driver was on-duty for the purposes of part 395 during that period of time. A driver may be relieved of duty under certain conditions and still be paid.
