Thanks for the memory, Jolie! It hard to imagine "Sir" and Lebowski in the same paragraph!

Dm:
Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.
Sorry to steer the conversation away from (not one, but) two fantastic movies, but I really am curious how it would work if you were right at the end of your 70 and they wanted to do an inspection. Would they go ahead and do it and then cite you for an HOS violation on top of it?
HOS:
Hours Of Service
HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.
They couldn't cite you because they ran you over on your 70. If anything, they would probably have you call your log auditor to authorize a quick trip down the road under safe haven. I can't think of any company that would ding a driver for that unless it was a constant occurrence.
That would last about as long as a 5 dollars snow tire.
Persian,
One thing that you need to realize is that you can go over your 14 or 70 but you can not drive. You can still work but can not drive once you hit those numbers. After you take a break and/or you get some hours back, then you can drive. There is nothing limiting you how long you can work. I routinely do my post trip after 14 hours is up.

Thanks Pat, this is actually quite a revelation for me. I don't know why I didn't realize this before! But I'll definitely be taking advantage of it when I can from now on.
