    My time is comming...

    Yes Panther's Safety department restricts us vanners to 16 hours, after which we must take a 5 hour break. They tell us on the QualComm what time we must stop and swap loads off us if the 5 hour break interferes with on time delivery.

    Under 26,000 lb Straight with Hydraulic brakes CDL or no CDL?

    If the Sprinter was over 10k GVWR would someone have to do DOT logs even if they didn't have a CDL?

    I'm at that Pilot right now! They haven't ticketed me or run me out, it might not be enforced unless the lot gets crowded.
