There are several limo and bus companies that demand all or most drivers be available 24/7/365. And then ,because they are employees, order them to violate the federal DOT hour of work safety law hours, since the driver is the only one liable for the $700-900 fine by CHP,,,which by the way suggests a way to falsify your DOT logbook with 'standby time' as 'off duty time' when you are still on the clock. It is a national disgrace and probably nationwide.
Beware of "Boston Coach" limo ,as a subsidiary of Fidelity Investment Company, seems to offer high pay in exchange for working too many ,possibly unsafe hours without at least 8 hours sleep at home. How important is your loved one , versus a couple bucks ?? Why does "Virgin Limo" say they pay competitive region and industry wages and then pay so very little??
Beware of "Destination Systems" who has made millions demanding 'unrestricted hours' from its bus drivers for years without regular days off or vacation time,,, retired in luxury after such putting-the-public-in risky business,,, and is now getting back into such risky business.
There are many more, hiding out there,,,Do we really want to lower all our standards to Mexico's or China's ??!
Consumers, if you love someone, you should ask more questions of who they ride with, limo or bus company, so that they will return safe and sound home to you. You would think.
