Miles Cut

Question on Canada .....when do you change your logs to Can Main? At dispatch in the US or when arrive at the Canadian Customs??...been doing the latter...

 

The latter is what they just told us in orientation.

 

Replied to the PM hope it helps. PS u don't need to use the border button I just do it to simplify for myself/dot

 

When you're out for 6-8 weeks, how much home time are they giving you? Thanks.

 

One day every 7 days out. They treat us good over here I love it. Just don't run 65 all the time. Don't idle when not needed

 

If you trk wasn't regening...that's like having a clogged up air filter all the time...no wonder u got crap MPG... I idle when we need too...65.5 mph if I can do it lol

 

Thanks. Do you get to choose how long you're out -- like the 6-8 weeks?

 

You can stay out 1-2 years if you see fit.

 

I believe the policy is you can request home time after being out for 10 days. They will get you home in 8 days or better. It's that simple. Remember, getting you home may limit your miles. They will put you on loads heading the right way. So, I stay out 6 to 7 weeks and then take 5 days or so off. Then I get nice home time instead of just a long weekend, I average more miles, and I bank days for the holidays and stuff.
