HOS rules on private land?

46 hrs in a row one time salting i-95 in mass. i was a wreck after that one g/f said i was a zombie when i came how but boy did i make some money...$30 an hour cash money

 

Yep, those were the days of hometime and great money.

I got my training in 76 when we had the tree chopping incident in Korea. Up for 4 days on alert. Slept for 36 hours afterward.


After that, 24 and 36 hours were my limit.

 

did grain and fertilizers for awhile in California for a ranch, ran 14 hr days, the 70 hr rule with logs, 2 to 3 loads a day were possible, 4 if everything fell in place correctly which was rare, though 2 loads was a bad day for me. The wait time on loading/unloads ate up time, it also depends on where pick up and delivery is and how familiar one is with the area. I did blocks on my logs accounting for what was done as requested by the company. However, the company/ranch did more than grain/fertilizers and traveled to Oregon and Nevada as well.

In my mind on local work, 3 loads are in grasp depending on where and how long at each point in a 14 hour day or less, I did log private lands as requested by the company

 

The poster does have it figured out properly for California. 1 thing I would say especially hauling wood chips (hog fuel) If you get paid by the weight see what the max your allowed under special provisions. Maine is now 100,000 With 6 axle setups which are most common chip set ups. As long as it doesn't violate spring thaw laws and if its over posted weight then temps must be below 28 degrees. Make a little more money and possibly turn 3 loads of 44,000Lbs into 2 loads of 70,000Lbs, work less but get paid the same or 1/3 more

 

mass theyre running 99,000 on 5 axle set ups with proper permits

 

May as well run legal i can say in some instances a bigger n better heavy haul takes longer to unload.

 

he's hauling chips in my guess a dead floor chip hauler or live floor so chances are hes probally dumping on a tipper so it wouldent matter trailer is mt in 5 minutes or less thanx to a lil thing called gravity

 

Yeah yeah yeah whem i did work at the ramch while waiting in those long ### lines to dump grain the other long ### line was woodchip haulets at some places gravity is a given. Dont recall it taking 5 minutes for anyone

 

lol well if u wanna get technical im only counting the going UP part and the woosh when everything comes out lol
