don't let them tell you it CAN'T be done.

In the last 5 weeks, I have now logged 3 weeks OVER 3200 miles in a 6 day period.

I left on Monday, June 4 at 5AM and when I get home on Sunday, June 10, I will have around 3800 miles.


All of these weeks are also while running on a Qualcom and with a 65 mph governed truck.

 

About an hour a day


It helps to have consignees who get you done in under 1/2 hour.

I have two competing for the title of #1.

Ones record is 12 minutes for 44k, the other is 18 minutes for a matching load.

Yes, the truck rocks enough, i get out.

It helps to ##### at the dispatchers about excessive dock time and to be able to log dock time as off duty. I do have that letter in my file for when i am in the sleeper.

 

I'm hoping to egg them on to do that around a three week spread i have around the end of june and july 4th weeks.


Everyone wants it off and i want to work. Leaves more trailers available for drop and hooks...

Or as the dispatcher calls em... hook and book.

 

I don't load or unload my truck.

I turn my paperwork in (on-duty time about 8-12 minutes) and go to my truck, get in the sleeper and go to sleep. Line 1 or 2 time. Read the regs. Perfectly legal if the company allows it.


They come out, beat on the truck and give me my paperwork.

I slide into the drivers seat and done the road I go.


as a company driver, i get paid mileage. In otherwords. I HAVE to maximize line 3. My wheels aint turning or i go out of route and waste time, i loose money.
