Obviously I know that with some loads you don't have the privilege to choose, you just have to run and take the good with the bad.
But I want to know what are the best hours to drive?
(If this question has been answered lmk and I'll look for the appropriate thread)

With Elogs there's not much choice as to when you drive. The nutcase politicians know when you should or should not drive.
americanmadetrucker, FullMetalJacket, G13Tomcat and 2 others Thank this. -
Some folks like driving at night some during the day.
During the week I try to stick to days bc when you do get tired after say 7pm (earlier at many places) all the parking is taken. On weekends there is always parked to less concern is needed.Bean Jr. and JojoTheTruckDriver Thank this. -

It all comes down to where you are going to park at the end of the day. Start early and finish early before the truck stop fills up.

Too many factors to consider really.
If you can pick/choose with the right load.
3-5am to 2-4pm would be good hours.
Should be able to find parking at most places at 4pm and earlier.
During the Summer/if the company has a crappy idle policy that might not be so good. -
Don't drive during a time that you are not used to.otherhalftw, G13Tomcat and JojoTheTruckDriver Thank this.
