Management will say it is your responsibility to keep track of your DOT hours. Send a message in the DIAD then head back.

They should know how many hours you have left when you show up that fifth day.

Pull over, Lock up, and uber home.

I would think you'd know earlier that you will be out that late and make arrangements then.

Management will just ignore you and say "you have till 11pm" hoping thr driver will just skip breaks and lunch to get done. Its retarded

Drivers can restart the 7-day period once per every 168-hour work week, by taking at least 34 consecutive hours off with two consecutive periods of 1:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m.
I'm pretty sure this rule was changed to just a 34 hour off period not consisting of two 1-5 a.m. periods.

They wouldn't allow that here, they'd send help out in the form of multiple drivers to get you in. Latest anyone works here is 8pm this time of year and that's rare, like if they had a brake down or the diad went down. What's going on in your center??

Me thinks the OP is full of crap.

 

[Brownslave688]

even if you send a message no one still communicates with you.

If you've had that bad of a day you should be communicating with them through the entire day that you may have missed.

For working over 14? Or over 60? Or not enough rest?


It's pretty hard to get fined since they have a lot of one time situation loopholes built in.

I worked within 15 minutes of my 14 a few weeks back. They dumped a bunch of extra work on me at 6 pm. I immediatly called in and said not sure I can finish all of this.


Do your best. Click.
