    It's ten minutes a day, if that extra ten minutes is running your dick in the dirt I don't know what to say.

    Ok, let’s say it is two loads in 11hrs 10 mins. That means it’s 2.5 hours each way. So approximately 150 miles. Why not just use the 150 air mile exemption? Chances are he’s working 14hrs and 10 minutes with load and unload time. 14 hrs a day every day gets old quickly

    Add in all the what if’s and 15-16 every day gets older even faster.

    I agree, but if he's on paper then why the need to speed. Why not make it 15-20 and not kill anybody at 75-80 MPH?

    Sounds like a great opportunity to buy a second truck to follow you around so you can watch him. LOL
    600 a day everyday doing same thing over and over is WAY to much work for me.
    I'd be curious if 120k pays 3 a mile?
     
    Feedman Thanks this.

    The only 150 mile exemptions are ag and non cdl. He doesn't qualify for either.
    Well unless he's pure intrastate and that state has an exemption.

    Heavy weights and high speeds are hard on tire life too.

    I'd hate to do it that cheap, that's a lot of tires to be buying.

    Ever talk to guys doing bulk work? I bet it’s <$2.50 all miles. I don’t understand how guys make bulk numbers work.. always adds up to me like cheap money but lots of work.
