    Drive 8-10 a day. Then just be mindful of your hours running recaps. Try to drive at night or start early

    Usually at a truck stop where I've been given permission to drop at. I don't secure the trailer. Not sure what you mean about locking my fifth wheel though.

    I know this will be a dumb question, but what is a recap?

    I thought there was a way to lock your 5th wheel so someone doesn’t steal a trailer from folks when dropped, but I may be wrong about that and just ignorant to how folks secure trailers when not attached if they wanted to.

    That’s how you used to do your hours before the fedgov did the 34 hour reset .

    there was no reset .

    you did you logs on the 60 hour 7 day / 70 hour 8 day rolling schedule

    whatever hoirs you worked 8 days ago , are gained back to the 70 hour 8 day schedule
     
    Concorde Thanks this.

    Simple don't log more than 10 hours total before you take your time off for the day, then take 14 hours between 10 hour drive shifts.
    The next you'll start a thread about I'm not making any money. On day 8 dont exceed your recap.

    I didn’t start this thread or ask the question. The op asked I answered.
    Are you gonna start a thread about people answering questions that are asked?
