Speaking of “timing out”, I always found it remarkable how commercial drivers have to play by a different set of rules (and enforcement) than we civilians. You and I drive on the highway basically blind to this parallel system.
I experienced this when a company I ran many years ago had to dip its toes into commercial vehicles (we were moving rental cars and had always just driven them, but got a small trailer & pickup truck to help). One of our guys got pulled over by a DOT enforcement officer once (we had no idea that they even existed) and got written a stack of tickets that we didn’t even realize were possible - code violations, stop-work order, etc. etc. etc. It was a fascinatimg (and expensive) lesson and peek into that world.
