[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 1022143, member: 18471"] I'm like oranputeh, when I log into the IVIS it's generally 15-20 min after my start time. I go by the book, was told on a safety ride not to wait one minute, could drive as soon as air pressure built back up to 100psi. Went back home checked my NJ drivers CDL manual and it still says 1 min. I still wait 1 min, since I hold an NJ driver's license. I did not confront the sup about this, (why stir up trouble?) but the next time I'll tell them to check NJ manual. We seem to have certain loads that are part of the "on-time" network. If you get a job with one of those loads you're supposed to be out the gate in 19 min. I generally tell them, "In a perfect world, where my tractor is outside the door, my trailer is actually on the spot you say it is, there is fuel in the tractor, I don't run into any yard traffic, etc." Then when I'm at the gate if they ask why I'm late I tell them. It's all just BS, you have to be assured the equipment is in safe condition, of course you can't go overboard......... Remember, if that center marker lamp or license plate lamp is not working it should be repaired before you leave! You could also say it worked when you pre-tripped it, or if you break down on the road, communicate by IVIS, if they ask where you are, tell them to use the GPS. Also get a steward involved, a driver by us was being hassled over pre-trip times, they audited him a couple of times with a steward present wasn't much they could do as his pre-trip was by the book. (Of course they could start the drivers 5 min earlier but that might cost approximately $5.00 more per run. Instead they rather spend $25 for time spent monitoring you, and the sups time that could be spent elsewhere.) [/QUOTE]
