March, Spring is on its way!

I was just thinking there should be no chance to be disqualified for layover because we go OOS because of weather as that is a safety issue...the reason why would help make that designation and Joe wouldn't have to guess at it....
So a truck sits out here for say 72 hours and a storm comes in and the driver shuts it down goes OOS like the rules say...and he/she gets dinged for the layover pay....Sir.....
Like yours truly...just waiting for the roads to clear and BACK in service...and I didn't go home either....I think there is wiggle room in there IMO.....
to clarify...I'd already done my 48 hrs in purgatory...and was on my own dime when I went OOS.....

its just layover, no rules say you have to go OOS because of weather. simply tell dispatch if they call you for a load during bad weather what your current conditions are, work with them and let them take care of the rest. that is what they are there for. if it gets bad enough you have to stop they will work with the customer. OOS is OOS, unless put out for some reason, you choose that designation on your own.
That works for you.....you have a place for your load....we CVers have to sleep with it....I won't take a load knowing I can't complete it, just to have a load on the truck...it is safer for that load in YOUR truck or on the dock....
actually YES there is a rule...if you are not going to take a load for whatever reason...you go OOS.....
yes, that is true. i was referring to a bad weather rule. also talking to dispatch could get a load on the van that actualy still gives you room to sleep.
I believe that was drummed into our heads a few months back. Why waste dispatches time looking for loads for you, if you have no intention of taking one.
Seems like it is none stop bad weather, my crystal ball is not as clear as it used to be
Not sure why we should be eligible for layover because of weather related OOS. Some people stay in service and deal with it. If a person makes a choice to go OOS that's on them. Start paying for weather related OOS and even more of the fleet will be unavailable. Also it opens the whole can of worms about what weather is bad enough to qaulify?

EXACTLY !!!!!!!! Its a personal choice, no layover.
READ what I posted.....I had in EXCESS of 48 hours served...I was on my OWN DIME......gee whiz.....
Exactly what I said.....I was OVER the 48 hours......
It does when you only took part of the quote from part the whole conversation....
It was in reference to having a comment box OR as John suggested to send a free form to address the situation....so Joe didn't have to guess as to what was happening....and maybe wrongfully disqualify someone...
