Is there such thing as weekend only trucking jobs?

You might want to read up on the regs. A weekend driving job and a 9-5 non driving job most certainly would affect your 70. If you're logging your mon-fri job per regulations a 10 hour break would be required before driving at the weekend job.

 

I don't know how much experience they require, but I had a friend at my last LTL company who would pick up weekend work with JB Hunt pulling containers into and out of the railyards to their drop yard, if I remember correctly, they paid him about $18/hr. He was able to work if and when he wanted to, he would just call on Friday and say he was available for either Saturday or Sunday. He just did it for some "play" money. Granted, he'd already been driving for over twenty years at the company we worked at together.

 

Well, anything is possible, but unless you already have your class A CDL with whatever endorsements a prospective company needs, and some experience, it is going to be a real uphill battle. As has been discussed ad nauseam here, you will have to be careful of the hours. Perhaps you should do some digging into DOT regulations. You should be able to pick up a booklet at your local driver's license bureau.

 

Let me put simply, ABSOLUTELY YOU MUST ACCOUNT FOR IT, AND YOU MUST LOG IT. Whether a combination of line 3 and 4 or just line 4, you must log it. When I first started driving, I worked 60 hrs a week in a semi, and 10 hrs over the course of Friday and Sat. nights for a pizza delivery place. One of the other pizza drivers was also a truck driver. He got stopped for speeding, the cop that stopped him, had also stopped him two days earlier in the semi for speeding and recognized him. The cop being a jerk, notified DOT, the rest as they say is history.

 

No the law say if you are a driver with 2 employers the logbook must sow the hours of both.

I am currently taking an online training module for my company and our insurance carrier. The module I am doing is on logging, there is a specific part in there regarding what must be logged, and as Witchinghour just pointed out above, this was also spelled out in the video I was watching.

 

I've seen a few week end gigs that don't go off private property but require CDL due to insurance reasons ,since its on private property they get to ignore HOS.


I wonder tho if you remain on private property for the first 4 hours ,then go off for the last 4 if you need to log it. Even if you do I'm sure you could just "go home" after 4 hours and get called back in .
