New July 1st Regulations

Do you really need someone to answer a question you presented with the answer in it?

 

Hey go easy on us steerin wheel holders

What are you ? Some loafer wearin arm chair truck driver ?

Let me guess a dispatcher ?
With all these B. S. Rules this guy just wants to be legal and see how much less $ he will take home each week

 

Your company can pay you whatever they wish. FMCSA does not determine your pay.

 

You can work as many hours beyond the 70 you want to as long as it's not driving

 

No, I drive.

He gave himself the answer.

He drives so, he cannot exceed the hours that are available to us for the week.

He drives local so he has to have a documentation for the break as well.

If he can get the company to pay him for 84 hours then more power to him. But, the pay records have to support his driving time. The pay for non driving is not limited.

 

You figure if you are gone 5 days and nights, you are gone 120 hours...so you could earn up to that much as long as you dont drive over 70 hrs.

 

sounds like he's a local driver. in which case he would be on the 60 clock. not the 70.

least, i was never allowed 70 when i ran local by the hour.

 

And also he can't "drive " 60 hours . Time is needed for inspections , fueling , etc. .
Local operations can use the 70/8 if they operate 7 days a week .
