    yea we were talking about that today.

    Maybe its that they drive private roads.

    10 miles over and 5 days off.

    20 miles over and off the ice for the year.

    Yes and no.
    They didnt know when the trucks would be ready. Only a guess. So at any time they could be ready to run or at least go to the trailer and get a ETTL

    They explained the speed limits, but I have also been watching from the beginning and they have never explained what kind of Hours of Service they need to follow. I'm under the impression from how tired they all are that they are running some looooong hours :biggrin_25521:

    Yup. It's a private road, so the DOT has no jurisdiction there. :biggrin_25514:
