You are correct on all points But as I posted, working the type of hours Razor posted is not likely in a LTL operation especially a Union one. The language in the contract would prevent it. I had forgot about the 16 hour rule in a 7 day period. von.
That is a good question. Maybe one of the 050 guys can answer it.
Anytime you go over 5 mph the eld puts you on the driving line on a log...even when doing moves in the yard .....I doubt that a yard horse is equipped with an eld, I wouldn't know for sure though my end of line terminal has no yard horse...
We must remember who we are talking about....rather than say yup you are right, he would rather deflect with a scenario that no union or non union company would do on anything other than an "emergency" basis....it must be tough to think you are so much smarter than all others to think that you can fool us into buying into an utterly ridiculous scenario.....BTW 16 hour rule only comes into play when you drive after your 14th hour...
I think you are right. A ELD in a yard horse would create more problems than without it. Now if you went from the yard to a warehouse 6 blocks down the street, then I think the ELD would be required. Just a guess. von.
I don't believe it would...to my knowledge you don't need an ELD when you are within a hundred miles of the terminal and you start and end your day in the same location...
No CEO or upper management is worth MILLIONS of dollars in compensation, I don't care what company you work for. Truck drivers have historically been under paid. The problem with YRC is they have invested a whole lot of money on worthless ideas. I liked the one we had at Holland a few years ago. They put permanent padlocks on all of our trailers, which was great and wonderful in the summer time. In the winter time we had to cut everyone of them of because of snow and ice. The dock computer thing that they hung from the ceiling of the dock never did work right. Some more wasted money. I could go on and on with stuff YRC forced onto Holland that cost a ton of money. When I started at HOLLAND in 1992, we never stacked and damaged freight on outbound trailers. Once Yellow got their claws into Holland and their new directives we constantly damaged freight by stacking. So YRC has brought ALL of their financial problems on themselves, not the employees which are underpaid. What happened to the 15% giveback we took in 2009? Where is all the pension money YRC has not paid for years? YRC is nothing but a bunch of liars and thieves.
A little like the no log, just have a time card rule when running local. If you went past the 100 air mile (110) ground, you were ok without a log as long as you could show start & end on a time card. I think. Any help here is appreciated. Thanks. von.
Yea? And I got a bridge for sale. von.

You're gonna love this:
what's good for the employers ( if you even been paying attention at all ) is not always good for the employees
I used to use the phrase: They play checkers, and I play chess! CHECKMATE!
Blade, I see you are back making new friends with your sunny, bright, positive comments favoring the employer over the employee. I see that is working out well for you. LOL!!!
There you go again, "employer over employee". Us against them. A stable, profitable company IS good for employees. Stable, profitable companies are those with management and labor working together to reach the same goals of growth and prosperity for everyone. Newsflash! management personnel are also employees.
