How does co-driving work?

Nope, one of you is in the sleeper. Then the other one is driving.. You do your time then change drivers and the other is sleeping and you are driving your hours..
See how easy that is........

 

I.m not sure for sure, but each usually drives a shift, some people I have heard have set hours to being a time period of say 3 am to 3 pm and then the other person takes over and drives from 3 pm to 3 am. Of course one person or the other is in the bottom bunk sleeping their 10 hrs off. The truck really can pretty much stay on the road all the time, esp if the driving hours are kept down and they work off recap hours.

And you both have separate paper logs or elogs.

 

If you're both up front, and since your truck doesn't have a sleeper, the driver would be listed as "driving", and the co-driver would be "on-duty not driving", as you stated. When you're staying in the hotel, you'd both be "off duty", not "sleeper berth."

 

Ok I'll bite. Why are you wanting to run tag team in a daycab trk??
Then slleping in a motel every night?
Something does'nt sound right with this question

 

You would both be either on duty or driving during the day and then off duty at night at the hotel. So say you start the day at 0700. You could drive first so you can train until 1400 and your "trainee" would be on-duty from 0700-1400. At that point, you could switch to on-duty from say 1400-2100 and your trainee would move over and show driving during that same period. You would both go off-duty at 2100. Because you are both "working" in a vehicle without a sleeper, you both have to show either driving or on duty while the truck is moving. In the scenario above, you are at your max hours of 14 and you have each only driven 7 hours each, so that keeps you each under you 11 hours max of drive time. Hopefully that helps. Just remember, you will only be able to work 14 hours a day and you can only drive a max of 11 hours.
