You are only partially correct. We can work as many hours as we want. Just not allowed to drive after 14 hours working time. You do not differentiate between WORKING hours and DRIVING hours. The rules as last written allow a driver to drive up to 11 hours before requiring the 10 hour break. The 11 hours of driving are usually mixed in with some "ON DUTY NOT DRIVING" time. After 14 hours of combined driving and on duty not driving time, we are not allowed to drive until we take the 10-hour break. We ARE allowed to WORK over the 14 hours - just not DRIVE over the 14 hours. Also, the rule writers in all of their infinite wisdom will no longer allow us to split our sleeper berth time.
Wal-Mart needs to pay more attention to their scheduling, to accommodate drivers that are running continually on the edge of running out of hours. Perhaps they need to do things more like K-mart. When delivering to K-mart, the driver checks in with the guard. The guard then tells the driver where to drop his trailer and where to park his tractor. The yard jockey then comes out for the trailer when the receivers are ready for it, takes it into the dock, and unloads it. Once the trailer has been unloaded, the yard jockey brings out the empty trailer and notifies the driver. The driver then picks up his paperwork and continues along his way to the next run.
