I caught that. I was addressing how they would get the 4500 miles in 7 days when the loading issues arrive and can mess up a day. Many of the loading issues will affect more than one day.

You most likely are running legal, but like any other trucking company, many dance to a different drummer.

I have sat at docks for as long as 5 hours in a day. Hard to drive 11 hours when that happens.
In that case couldn't you only drive 9?

It all depends on the amount of time since you started the day.

You will find many are log violations that exceed the 11 and 14 rule.
yes it is but that is the drivers fault for not saying they can not do it

No doubt.

Amazing what greed will do.

Reefers are another world.

I will admit, being parked by them has never bothered me.

I enjoy reading the many stories that the JCT drivers post. It is informative.

Yes I know. we don't get 4500 every single week. there might be the times when the whole week your doing drop and hook that's a whole different story.
