[QUOTE="10 point, post: 1428874, member: 52520"] Evidently I have to explain it to you again. The difference is walking vs driving. It's RDR not RWR. If you want to disobey management's orders go ahead. But don't tell other drivers to on here and have them get fired. Does that sound familiar? Management can tell you to be at a certain location by 10:15 and you should be there you can lawfully get there then. That's not my point. But if you want to make a mountain from a molehill here goes: First response with a witness... "I'll be there at 10:15 but you're going to have to take these air and SSI stops off me because they may be late". Second issue... Forcing me to drive over the speed limit to make a commit time because of logistics problems, traffic patterns, weather issues, etc will not happen so take me out of service. I can use a paid vacation. Force me to cut my pretrip short to make a bogus commit time ( adding also since their preload goes down late every day) and Art 18, 37 plus a phone call to the local area DOT Enforcement agency will get their minds right. Work as directed? That's what we do but it costs the company about every day they blindly force the issue without considering all the factors. We have an account that gives us four trailer loads a day. They're SSI with a 15 min swing allotment. They tell the driver to be there at X time and the driver says "I'll do my best". That's all anyone can do and they know it. There's ramifications for them pushing the logistics button. It's Never challenged. They would predominantly lose providing the driver is working by the book. [/QUOTE]
