Definitely won't be me, since "the rules" would contradict that. :wink:
Howeso? Cite the reg! :lol:
I think even hobo would agree with that one. :lol:

Technically, Rev.... if the driver is outside the gate, on a road or highway or PVA and is out of hours, he cannot DRIVE his vehicle into the facility until he has had his legal break. The "multiple stop" exception does not apply, as it requires one to log the actual driving time even tho logging line 4.
But of course, because I am psychic and know the "spirit" of the regs, I would agree that this driver is an IDIOT! The regs are designed to keep drivers from driving ON HIGHWAYS where there is traffic when over hours!
There ARE many Distribution Centers that won't allow a driver inside their gates until one hour before their delivery time, and in a way, it wouldn't matter anyway if they were behind the controls and "driving" the vehicle.
But, if I'm anywhere NEAR the front gate of my consignee, I log it as in the dock! On time is on time! Myth_Buster and his band of logbook Nazi's be danged! :lol:
The problem here, is being AT the consignee but out of hours! Even if one is in the dock, there is no legal way to log a 10 hour (or 8 hour S/B) break while there! [usually.]
Poor trip planning, or inadequate logbook "coloring!" :lol:
