PRIME Drivers... What's your 20? (2)

And if all of a sudden on the first day, a 600 mile load paying $1800 pops up (and believe me, there are more than a few of them), who is going to get it, the guy with 11 hours or the guy with 8?

I want to put myself in position to get the best load possible, and there are more load possibilities with more hours than with fewer.

 

600 / 8 = 75

600 / 11 = 55

How fast does your truck go again?

 

And you have 8 hours while I have 11? Thanks for letting me have the immensely profitable load!!!

 

I wouldn't be A team? Go drop my name to the guy in the cowboy hat that runs the simulator lab that used to be my FM. Ask him what team I would have been on.

Secondly, you "usually" would have enough hours in the bank. In a situation where you didn't have the hours in the bank, I'd have the load because I burned hours the week before faster. In the 5.5 years I was at Prime, I might have run my 70 out as a solo and had to take a reset once or twice. However, it doesn't take an engineer to know that having more hours available to run at any given time is better than having fewer.

 

Seriously guys....both of you are starting to sound a bit ridiculous here.

 

I was waiting for someone to get out a ruler...

 

I agree. And to think this all started with my post a couple days ago asking what was my fm thinking on a load he gave. LOL. It has been entertaining to read this though.

Can someone explain tome the 8hour rule?

Thanks
