I think this guys math is off

It is great info brother ! I can never really wrap my head around ag exempt because I've never done it before. But I sure as heck know who to call if I ever use it and need help !

 

Why does anyone want to drive that many hours.
Idiots. Dont follow thier practices if you ever want to retire and enjoy your grandkids.

 

Lol... Hes probably making enough money he could retire way early. Its not always about what you want... But more about there is a job that needs done, so just get it done instead of b####ing about it.

Thats alot of whats wrong with society today, IMHO. Folks have lost the work ethic and drive that built this country and made it great... And instead have taken up the "I want, I want, I want, ME, ME, ME" attitude. It's sad what this country is changing into. SMH

 

In our case, it allows the drivers to make dam good money, keep their regular sleep schedule, and be home five nights and three days every week. Running regular HOS, they’d be laid over at least two nights and lose a full day sitting watching one clock or another tick down.

 

I would agree probably... if he wasnt whinging on and on about how high his fuel cost was, implying he would go under...

Who cares what your costs are if your revenue covers it?

To ops question, 1100$/day 18 hr days, at 55 mph (an average) is 990 miles... a fuel cost of 1.11/mile. Calling fuel cost 6$/gal would give us 5.4 mpg. That may be a bit off

His math is off yes, his buisness model is stupid, and hes complaining about it because he doesnt have the brains to adjust to market conditions... or hes lying his keister off. Hos or not, youre paying me VERY HANDSOMELY if you want me to run nearly 1k miles in a single 24 hr period, to assume this is normal and do it 5-6 days a week, i need to be a millionaire in 4 years as a company driver, as an owner, much higher

 

I had wondered how you guys would figure out that air mile line
So your system would actually put you on and off the clock every few minutes or so if you were on a twisty road that was going inside and out of that line?

 

Exactly, the ELD does it all. Most drivers just go off exempt manually, but the geofencing let’s us dial it in to the fraction of a mile.

 

Not sure what plant they’re going to, but his rate sheet is barely a thousand dollars. And if he’s doing 2 of those and running 850 miles a day then I’d say it’s time to stop hauling milk if he wants his business to survive.

 

Good explanation makes sense now. I was a little confused on that too
