    4700 / 5 = 940

    Let me check my math.....

    940
    x 5
    4700

    Interesting thought.

    Seems UPS pays miles and hourly and their drivers are usually very satisfied.

    UPS also seems to stay profitable as well.
     
    Meltom and truckerdave1970 Thank this.

    Oh this gets better and better. 15 - 20 minutes on a compliance review and then the auditor sat around drinking with you????:biggrin_2559:


    THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH SHOVELS IN ALL THE COW PENS OF NEBRASKA FOR THAT #### STORY!


    The numbers you are slowly revising down come from your own shoveling. Trust me son the smell precedes the story.

    4700miles / 68 hours = 69 mph

    Your counting like it's your first day on the job. 4700 / 5. Try working out 4700 by the 68 I'm on duty and driving! When I get loaded then I'm sleeping my 10 off. Count like a ignorant a hole make yourself look like one in the end.

    States i run threw and get home im legal. That's 4800 miles max now do 4200! What you only know how to count max allowed. Didn't I write 4200-4700? Look at everything and do your calculations again. Sometime those 5 days turn into 5.5 days. When I get 4700 done im streching every last min to get home but it gets done! You do what you do I'll do what I do and get paid. Don't bite the barrel.

    Yes 15-20 min with the auditor. She checked the three times I got inspected, made sure my logs matched to the inspection reports and that was it. It was the end of her day she got to the house at 3pm, we went thre what she asked for. Done pretty much by 330 and we had some drinks after. Yes she sat around and had a drink with with us. What it that illegal for her? Does she have to sit around for 3 hours inspecting someone that got all their $h!t together? She asks for something I turn around and hand it to her(everything in a file for that work week) not dig threw the kitchen or dinning room and basement and bring something up she didn't even ask for. This is America: innocent until proven guilty.

    Don't worry I'm not a dairy farmer or a cow farmer. I don't need all the shovels in Nebraska to feed you this story. I'm just using a sliver platter and a table spoon to feed you. Maybe you'll absorb some of this and learn. Not everyone get the same job done with the available hours their given.

    Worst case scenario I get as close to the house as I can if I run out of my 70 I'll have either my cousin or my friend come pick the truck up and get it home while I drive their 4 wheeler back.

    I'll get my job and get paid, don't worry about me cause Im doing it and getting paid bank. Worry about your selves how you get it done and what you get paid.

    Oh yeah and the NASCAR race got pushed over till tomorrow, but it was still fun tail gateing all day. Playing captain, ship and crew. Were getting a extra day of tailgateing for the same race. Isn't life wonderful for those that get paid and laid. Lol

    Keep hatein, not my fault you can't get paid $$$$$$ and laid. Maybe go back and take economics 101 to igure out how much your time is worth and go back and take a basic math class to figure out how to add, subtract, divide and multiply how to pay yourself, pay your business and still be well of. Instead of having a bunch of credit dept and credit collectors on your ### trying to take your truck and home.

    Now its time for me to go back to sleep and finish sobering up for the tailgating and race tomorrow.

    68 hours out of your 70 you are doing 69 mph. So that leaves 2 hours all week for pre-trips, fuel, loading unloading, scale crossings, piss breaks, mandatory tire checks after every 5 hours.

    My math is just fine, the trouble is there is so many holes in your story, but none as big as the one telling it. You think you can come on here as a 4 wheeler or maybe you don't even have your license yet because you are too young and think you can pass this crap off as fact. Time to move on. You are a troll and have never spent a minute behind the wheel of a truck. There is a fact I am sure of.

    Mods, time to rid the forum of this troll, like our old friend lupe

    Lol, your just upset cause you got a infraction and got your thread deleted. Mine just got edited cause it made sense and explained my way of doing it to the T. Might of been a little to offensive to certain people but you took it to heart cause its true.

    No holes in this story. Say it how it is. What do I need to prove to you or this forum. You some kind of tucking god snow man. I probably own more things then you can dream of and have paid off not have a lien holder or debit like most of the US. We seen how that turns out when the economy turned. Lot of people lost a lot of things, didn't phase me much. Still living like I was and putting money in the bank mr.

    This was all explained 2 pages ago. Go back and read and not be ignorant.

    Yes I believe I am younger than you rip van winkle. You may look old but you think like a child still. Make some snow angels.

    You should be careful you might end up like what you wrote as your signature. :jerk:

    I think you made a new user name after you got you infraction and were trolling as chew tiam.

    I'm here to stay for a very long time. You might wanna change you trucker status to wanna be.

    Time to go watch the giecco 400 now since it got rained out yesterday.

    Be patient. Ill even let you see her in person. You'll know when I go by. Have the same OFFICIAL CMV 80mph TESTER sticker on my back door. Keep your eyes open if you run I-80, I-44, I-40, I-15, and I-55. Main interstates I run. Nothing east of I-55.

    Don't need to broadcast and advertise on here. If you know me you know me if you don't then you don't. See you out their. Keep an eye out for that sticker on my back door and don't forget to holler when you see me. Most Conway trucks look the same. I'm not gonna be slowing down by each one to see if thats you or not. I'll keep you posted in the where you at thread if anything. I shut down by a LA Fitness every night. Work out, shower and finish what's left of my 10 hours in the sleeper.

    Maybe later on I'll change my mind in broadcasting my truck on the Internet.

    Would of started my own thread if I knew I was gonna get this kind of response. Going back and forth between you two. Just you two for the matter of facts. How about we get this thread back on track about the 14 hour rule and what we think about it.

    If you guys "end of the road and ecu51" wanna go back and forth about this we can do it in pm's or start a new thread. Not clutter up someone elses thread. See you guys out their :salute:
