The so called "Safety Director" is a moron who has his cranium tightly lodged in his rectum......and he/she knows zilch-zip-nada about the HOS, and was trying to twist your husbands shorts to literally violate the HOS.

I don't see this supported in the regs anywhere except the old regs. Anybody know anything about what he might be referring to?

You won't find it. There is nothing in the HOS about "good faith". They FMCSR's are "cut and dried".....

In this case we're trying to figure out how to get him 50 more miles so he can swap out with a driver thats had a family emergency, so I'd love to be wrong, just can't see it.

If the other driver had a family emergency....it was incumbent upon "the company" to communicate with the people where he was, and have them sign for the load, have the driver drop the trailer and go. They could have then sent any other driver in later to retrieve the trailer.
When dealing with the 14 hour clock, there is only one thing that will stop it. That is an 8 consecutive hour sleeper berth break. Thats it, thats all.
Nothing else does it, period.
Had your husband done what the idiot of a "safety director" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: had mentioned....and he was stopped for a log book check, a ticket, or had an accident....and was over his 14, the $$$ fines would wipe out his paycheck for a week or two, probably over $1000.00 or so, just for a logbook violation. In the event of an accident, that fine would only be the tip of the iceberg. He would also be facing "criminal charges" as well. The moron safety director would lie and even put it in writing that he said no such thing....leaving your husband to swing in the breeze.
My best advice: Tell your husband to start looking around for a new job, as that company is truly a "bottomfeeder", and they will try it again.
