What happens when you run out of your HOS?

Yessir, the 6 P's of trucking. Prior Planning Prevents Piss-Poor Performance.

 

LOLVE IT!!

But that is a lot of P'ing - LOL!

 

Exactly - you get your dispatch. calculate your miles, add a few for the "unknowns", then calculate time. Compare that time to the actual time you have until delivery, subtract your 10 hour breaks, also figure when you WANT to run... example - you may be legal to run at 0200, surely doesn't mean you HAVE to...

Then take a look at where you think you'd like to stop, if you prefer bigger truckstops, or out-of-the-way places...

 

Pickin' on us Canucks again.

If you are close to where you want to be and are only over a bit and there is no scale between you and there just go to where you need and make the book look good.

This is assuming you are not doing the head bobs and can get to where you want to be safely.

Despite what some say I don't think it is so black and white. You need to plan, yes, but you also need to be able to think on your feet so to speak and make good decisions. If the option is run over 30 minutes or waste an hour of driving I will always go 30 minutes over.

 

great answer,

NOT !!!!!

 

Not? Great answer, if you're stuck on Saturday Night Live skits from 20 years ago.

 

Glad i use loose leaf log books...I'm always legal on paper but i have been known to run 20 hour days...

 

I'm not picking on Canucks at all! Just explaining tis better to do things like this out of sight--and not to pull over(where you might be seen)
Just consider a friendly public service announcement--from the lower 48 LOL

 

Hey don't Canandians run on the metric system? And the exchange rate is slightly different, so 1 U.S. hour is what 1.25 Canadian hour?

I'm just messin' with ya! I love Canada!
Hell, I'm a Maple Leafs fan don't cha know!
