Without getting into it much I'm a SI BO, and we are only allowed 2 minutes hot before getting trouble, and no way am I ever running into the ferry hotter than 2 minutes as there is supervison there 24/7,
If it makes missing the boat it is what it is, some runs aren't scheduled to make a boat either.
I had a run for awhile that was scheduled to get to the terminal at 06:01,
Sometimes you have to just drive slow or eat a few lights to get back onto schedule
Hell no we don't do it to inconvenience you or punish you, you think we want to be in that bus any longer than you? No way hombre.
