    Oh yeah, the office is in Bristol.
    It's 3.51 with the .10 off at the Wal Mart by my house.

    Oh GEE, look what I found in other parts of this forum that others here knew about but did not include in our previous conversations................


    PROVISIONCURRENT RULEFINAL RULE – COMPLIANCE DATE FEBRUARY 27, 2012On-duty time Includes any time in CMV except sleeper-berth. Does not include any time resting in a parked CMV. In moving CMV, does not include up to 2 hours in passenger seat immediately before or after 8 consecutive hours in sleeper-berth. Also applies to passenger-carrying drivers.

    Looks like I don't have to sleep in a tent at a rest area anymore!

    From other info I have come across, this wasn't a big concern anyway.
    Just make sure you are 10 hours 0ff duty after 11 hours driving.

    Like I said before my OFF DUTY time is my time to do what I want, where I want.:violent1:

    Good times, Drive on!

    I guess you don't know how to start your own thread or use pm's so you've just decided to highjack this one .

    Not to mention that you and I have had several discussions on this very issue.

    So how is the RV hauling going? I'm looking to start out doing that. Would like to find a good company to start with. Any recommendations? I have an 04 Dodge 3500 tagged up to 26k.

    Depends if you have any commercial driving experience or CDL.

    Some companies will not take that age of truck as well.

    I've drove a cmv for the last few years but not pulling a trailer. I've only pulled my own trailers and nothing over 20' long. Also planning to get my cdl this summer from a local college that offers the training. I would like to run enough this year to pay off this truck which I bought for personal use last month and purchase something new/newer next year.

    Up the registration of your 3500 to over 26,000 and if you can hook to a trailer that puts your gcwr over 26,000 you can get a CDL A using that but you will have a restriction for non airbrake vehicles .
    Many RV transport companies prefer you have a CDL because they transport some pretty heavy 5th wheels .
    Don't plan on making enough pulling RV's to pull off your truck this year unless you have a pretty small balance owed .
    The better companies are Horizon and Quality .

    I plan to attend a local community college soon to get my cdl. I have some income coming in so any money I make hauling rv's would be going directly to pay off the truck. Can someone point me in the right direction for JET? I cant find the company.
