I held a job once that would report at one terminal and dismiss at another. We had a bunk house to sleep in and 9 times out of 10 we would report "on rest". The way it was handled here was that if we worked under 12 hours we could report for duty in 8. If we worked 12 we had to wait 10 hours. Some conductors would put us off at 11 hours 55 minutes and we had 8 hours from the time we stepped off the unit to the time we got back on. A lot of times the dispatch office would call at the bunk house within that time if they had something so "important" to tell you that it couldn't wait. <br />The job I'm on now makes an interchange with CN and the Canadians tell us they can only work 10 hours. I think that's all they are allowed to work over there before violating their hours of service but I'm not sure. <br />Take care. Slofr8.
