    Yeah it will make more sense if they make it so they both stop the 14 . I would probably use it alot but i can never figure out how much hours are coming back.

    Lets say i do a 8 hour break with 6 hrs left to drive. So i start driving and run 5 of those 6 hours out , then stop for a 2 hour break.... How could i calculate how much hours are coming back after 2 hr break is done ?

    To top things off that day. Had a shipper reject my trailer. Rightfully so!
    This was a very good paying load. It's Beans. They pay good. They expect a good well maintained trailer. Also...
    Their moisture content in their beans is high right now. They worried about any water getting inside the trailer. It would up humidity. They couldn't afford that.
    If what they saw was so. They were worried about what they couldn't see. They didn't want no water getting inside in anyway.
    When my boss is talking repairs with tape. They didn't want to hear that. Didn't want to see a repair with RTV.
    I admit. I have seen that trailer leak in a heavy rain storm. Right down the side in the middle of the trailer.
    This place was great. They welcome us back. But gotta get a better trailer.
    I not sure at all about this job.

    In that case... After the 2 hr. You would have 6 hrs on your 11, and 7 on your 14 (provided that had burned the same amount off of you 14 as you did off you 11, during those 5 hours of drivine between the 8 and 2)... If you had stopped for any reason (restroom stop, fueling, lunch, loading, ect.) and used more of your 14 than you did of your 11 then that additional time would also need to be deducted from your 14.

    2 guys fishing... The efficient way.
    One tosses out a stick of Dupont 50% ditching dynamite and reaches in the sack again....
    Other guy; crouched away in other end yells, "what the hell are you doing"?
    First guy; lighting his second stick replies,"You gonna talk of fish?"
    Old crank telephone innards, piece of log chain and copper screen is quieter... jus saying

    Do this...
    have the picture upright and centered in front of your face...
    look straight at the picture....
    put tip of your finger on tip of your nose...
    move tip of your finger away from your nose - slowly - straight ahead in the direction of the picture
    see where the tip of your finger will end... :biggrin_25519:

    Or you could just draw a line from the left top corner to the bottom right corner and another from the right top corner to the left bottom corner.... and see where the intersection will be... :biggrin_25519:
    Just take in consideration that I am a female... and I do look like a female... at least in that picture... :glasses10:
