What if it Snows?

Told the wife I would like it if she came home with some sour cream and onion potatoe chips.

She asked if I had eaten the other bag yet.

I went and looked. Sure enough there was a bag there that I had forgotten about. I swear I looked last night and the cupboard was empty.

Sigh

 

So apparently on duty time does not count against the 8 clock. Did my pre trip this morning 15 mins as usual. Was expecting to see 7 hr 45 mins left on my 8 but it was still 8 hrs. Interesting.

 

What is this 8 clock? What happened to 11/14

 

Correct... Only drive time counts towards the 8. A 30 min break of On Duty/Off Duty/Sleeper is required before accumulating more than 8 hours of driving. This 30 min break can be any one OR combination of those duty statuses.

 

8 hours before a 30 min is required.

 

Oh yeah. I thought maybe he’s logging 8.75 per day or less, so he never runs out.

 

Ford Truck plant is cranking them out today. Saw a new Chevy p/u. The grill looks pretty mean. Real intimidating. Should sell well. I can see one already tailgating me in the snow with his brights on.

 

Is this meal anything like a happy meal?

 

Exactly.
So, you can wait in line 10 minutes for fuel off duty, fuel for 10 minutes on duty, slide up to the yellow line and go take a poop for 10 minutes, come back out and your break is satisfied.
Plus, since the 8 hours only applies to driving time, its unlikely that you'll have to do another one.
I hated taking 2 in one day
