doing and 8/2 split. COULD be a valid point. HOWEVER, the trucks are only sitting for 3, 4, 5, maybe 6 hours.
they AREN'T sitting for 8 or 2 hours.
i once parked, for the night. had a truck park next to me shortly there after. sat in the drivers seat a full 10 hours. playing on his cell phone. i'm not a full 10 sleeper. about every 2 hours i was up with a smoke. and he was in the drivers seat playing on his cell phone. so i would assume he was up the whole time. 10 hours went by. he fired up his truck and left.

[QUOTE="semi" retired;4183516]I didn't think there was anything wrong with 4 days either, but I got what they meant. Years ago, I knew a guy that did 5 Wis. to Cal. turns a month. There was nothing legal about that situation.[/QUOTE]
I hear ya. But you could run what he said on elogs LOL ( but not in a 62mph truck) I will say also that MORE goobermint regulation and intervention is NOT the answer.......Joetro Thanks this. -

I wasn't intending to offend!! LOL..............but it can be done!!Handog Thanks this. -
We run elogs at the company where I work. I know they watch them closely and everytime someone figures out a way to cheat, they close that loophole. There are tricks that are technically illegal. And some of these drivers' you're observing may be doing this...
They 'crawl' down to the shipper/receiver at less than 18mph and 2 miles. That won't trip the elog. Or they may have only driven a couple hours, are stopped next to you for 5 hours or so, then leave to go to the shipper receiver.
All legal.
For the most part, e logs are almost fool proof. -
Can't wait for some solar flair type thing to wipe out the gps satellites then what......?
