I need advice on running recaps.

I need advice. Recap mishap.

My company is pushing my husband and I to run recaps. From my understanding we can each run 8 hours and 45 mins each day for 8 days and on day 9 roll over 8 hours and 45 minutes each. Doing this has caused 2 of our loads to be late. When we arrive and drop our loads we don’t know if they will have one set up for us immediately or not. This past week had been go, go, go. Meaning we are taking time under a load sitting. Waiting for 10 hours to start or waiting for midnight to start. This leaves 6 hours and thirty minutes per day that we aren’t moving the loads. But once under a load they time it as if it is moving at 40 mph. So if the load is 1200 miles we have 30 hours to get it there before it is late. We are governed at 65 so it should take 20 hours to get there (at 60 mph) if we were running full clocks. But running recaps we together will run 17.5 hours 1 day then sit 6.5, start again at midnight and finish the last 3 hours. This equals 27 hours. This is calculated at running 60 mph the entire time. So anything that causes a that to fluctuate will most likely cause the load to be late. I feel defeated. I’m trying really hard to understand this but I’m just not getting it. I was also informed that there are 2 other teams that run on recaps that are making the loads and not having any issues. Unless they are running on on duty yard move then I have no idea how they are doing it. Advice would be appreciated.
not sure if I explained this well. We are running 24/7 under loads. Arrive, drop trailer, check in, take load. 7days a week. On recaps. now there may be a few hours between sometimes but this week there has not been. It’s been drop-go. So how do I efficiently run recaps as a team? Also, this is a learning experience for me. No need to be harsh or rude.

 

This wouldn’t help. It still leaves load to be late Saturday and Sunday.

 

Gotcha

 

It’s so confusing to me. I have never ran recaps. If we are under a load 24/7 it dosnt matter how long the load is, we can’t run recaps and keep it within the time frame allotted for delivery. We will eventually run out of hours and need a 34. But the company does not want us taking them.
