    Sometimes I'd give a dollar to have a trailer that will poop on the one parked next to me.

    Or on someone smart enough to think walking between racks is a good idea.

    Also works well when your running nights,and you want to run days,or vice versa,shortens your day by a few hours,without paying a huge mileage penalty.

    No, it is revenue. You are spending extra TIME to produce that revenue.

    For reasons I won't get into here, I've found myself in a rental truck this past week. Fleet specs...64.3 mph limiter. Trips are taking roughly 20-25% longer to drive in this under-powered, neutered, ugly-as-sin aero truck. Then, as though to kick a man when he's down, fuel mileage is actually 1/4 mpg WORSE than what I typically average in my own truck spec'd in a manner which would make the "experts" cringe. My truck is spec'd to get the job done, with fuel mileage being an afterthought. This fleet-spec truck was put together with fuel mileage in mind, and really isn't very good at doing anything.

    Now we need push for a mandate that requires shippers and receivers to load/unload within 2 hours, be open 24/7 and provide sufficient onsite parking! That will happen right?
     
    BeN DaViS, Dominick253 and Pure.Genius Thank this.

    I stand corrected. I thought you were exempt from the 30 min break. And yes NY and grapes comes to mind for AG and CA intrastate has different HOS rules.

    We are. But that 30 min break exemption doesn't help much when you're looking at a 1400 mile run.
