    All this worry about running out of hours is kind of silly. If you run out of hours, and you logged right, you should be thanking your dispatcher because that means they ran you hard and you got lots of miles. The government limits how much we can drive/earn. Nothing you can do about it. I'm bumping my 70 now but I got 3600 miles this week so what am I going to complain about?

    You're a trucker so you have to keep up the reputation.

    Judging by our avatar, you a a Marine... My guess is that you don't complain about much in truck driving, because you're prepared to deal with every BS situation, and that quite possibly you walked that 3600 miles with 80lbs of gear on your back.

    Never go over 10 hrs a day, and you will never run out of time. How you use those 10 hrs is up to you! Owner op since 1992. SpitFire they call me

    A lot of good info. Most people don't understand teams. But if he's getting 10cpm he will probably end up with 210k miles in a year if they keep him moving.
     
    tucker and RedRover Thank this.
