Should I just start telling everyone to run illegal?

Logs Please don't leave us I like chatting with you

 

ahhh, just throw down a banana and kick ole monkey boy in the A55 when he bends over to pick it up LMAO! he'll quieten down

 

logs do not leave us we need you

 

The issue is this logs. I don't come on here and say I can do your job. I know about it, but I am not going to say I can do it without the have to do it deal. If you get this rattled on a board then you could not handle this job. This is no stress on this board. I know and a bunch of others drivers know that you care about what you do and are good at it. Point is you can know about something, but until you actually walk that mile there is no blisters on the heel. I have just been rattling you, but there is truth to what I am saying. You need the windshield view to understand.

I am sorry if I have offended you, but you know the book side and the book doesn't have all the chapters. I do not advocate running illegal, but there are times when your system won't work.

 

Logs do not leave you have taught me alot about logs and I like reading your posts

 

Logs, easy now. Take. A. Deep. Breath.

While you can't teach this old dog any new tricks, as I've been at this too long and know full well how to play the game, your advise is no doubt helpfull to many, mainly newbs.

Stick around

 

I have always enjoyed reading and learning from the discussion that logs has created, and clarified. It is nice to here from the book side. It is also nice to here from the real world side, of how to run legal, within the rules, and maximize my earning potential.

 

LogsRus, don't leave, you are very good at the book side of HOS and give a bunch of incite on it.

Logs, every company can control HOS with todays computers already installed in the truck. The companies choose to let the drivers make the books look legal. With the company I drove OTR for in the past, was sent a summary of the total hour the truck was driven and total hours the engine was run every seven days. I don't remember a full 7 day week that I was ever under 80 hours in seven days, let alone 8 days. The cost of an accident is already built into the cost of running a company.
