Where is everyone #2!!

Yep, you guys were right.


"May drive only if 8 hours or less have passed since end of driver’s last off-duty or sleeper-berth period of at least 30 minutes. [49 CFR 397.5 mandatory "in attendance" time for hazardous materials may be included in break if no other duties performed] "

 

...only drive if 8 hours or less....since last off duty of 30 minutes or more...

 

Its not right but its working. Dropping it off at KW in St Paul on my way through this afternoon.

 

You can take the 1/2 hour break after working 15 minutes if you want to. But then you would only be able to work another 8 hours and you'd have to take another one. The key is you must take one within 8 hours of switching from off duty to on duty.

Did I say you must take one ? silly I, you must LOG one, big difference.

 

Story City, Ia at the McDonald's checking out the load board.

 

Houston bound out of Blytheville ar 6 skidded coils

 

OR.... you can drive a little slower, say 63mph and never have to stop. If the speed for that state is say 70mph, you can log it at 67mph, drive 63mph and just pick a town to show your 30min break. At the end of the day, your time all equals out

What i usually do tho is show a break while I'm getting loaded. Say it takes a shipper 1 hour to load me, i will log 1/2hr loading and 1/2 hr off duty as a break

 

I knew there was a reason other then fuel as to why u drove slow lmao I'm starting to see the method to the madness

 

Don't think you should be advertising the fact that your cheating the system on the net. If something every goes wrong it could come back to bite you.
