We don't really know if either happened in this case. Sounds like someone screwed up. Maybe both.

I'm pretty sure these operators aren't scheduling their own hours, CT knew exactly how long the driver had been working. Was this the best way for the driver to address the situation? That's debatable, but we don't know his side of it. Bottom line is he's not required, or even legally allowed to be working over 12 hours, CT dropped the ball on this one.
