Who does your 70 REALLY belong to?

{"text":"Not entirely sure how to phrase this, but I'll give it a shot.\n\nWhen running recap, or about to start doing so, who is ultimately in charge of what you do with your 70? I don't mean who's responsible for the hours, that's on you the driver. What I mean is, if you are being responsible with your 70 by not running more that 8-9 hours per day, but then your company insists on giving you tight delivery windows that would force you to run out your clock a few days in a row thereby forcing you to completely exhaust your hours in an unfamiliar place that you don't want to do a 34. I guess the question is, who does that 70 actually belong to?\n\nIf it belongs to the company then they can ask anything they want, BUT they should be held legally responsible for any out of service ticket that you might acquire if you were acting at their request.\n\nIf it belongs to the driver then the company should have no say as to how you run your hours, morning, night, 8 hours, 5 hours, 11 hours, all up to the driver to decide and also be held responsible for any out of service that you made the decision to do.\n\nThoughts?\n","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Unless they are dispatching you in an illegal way as a company driver you are at their mercy. So basically it’s the company’s 70 but your responsibility to make sure you don’t violate. If they are trying to get you to run illegally then they can be held accountable but out side of that they can expect you to run out your 70 in 6 days if they choose. \n\nYou are in control of the truck and you are legal to shut it down any time you are out of your safety zone. If you don’t feel safe driving more than 8 or 9 hours a day they can’t force you to. But it’s a good bet they will start starving you to get you to quit. \n\nThe trucking company don’t necessarily pick when the load has to be picked up or when it has to be there. \n\nI have seen times they will say the load has to be picked up today but cannot deliver till day after tomorrow even though it’s only 600 miles. I personally say no thanks and find a different load but it’s how it goes. \n\nEven as an O/O if I commit to a pick up and delivery the customers expect me to meet that. It’s how trucking goes. Not always is it possible or economical to only run 8 or 9 hours a day. \n\nI personally can almost never run recaps because I run my 70 out in 5 to 6 days. ","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"the hours belong to you the driver. it is your responsibility to meet the scheduled pick up and delivery times. if you can do that running your truck on a 9 to 5 schedule then that's your call. hope the answer helped.","replyToPid":0}
