ITS NOT ABOUT PLANNING. It is about the hos not working in the oilfield. You don't get loads right after the other.
You get a load, spend about 6 hours for delivery. Get back, wait around and get another one 4 hours later. Well look here, I am already 10 hours into my 14 and I need 6 hours to deliver it.
I can take it, make to site to get it delivered. Going have to spend my 10 hours 100 miles from civilization. Its not bad planing.... It about getting every dollar you can from your time. So instead of driving 1 hour over what HOS says, I have to spend my 10 uncomfortableShooterK2, diesel drinker, Oldironfan and 1 other person Thank this. -

When I drive, I'm better rested than any of the 14-hour-a-day freight haulers I pass. I've slept so much I can't possibly sleep any more. Yet they're legal and I'm not because of the timing.
They call me an outlaw. They say it's guys like me that are the reason we have this mandate. I got my CDL in '96. Haven't had a single accident or ticket. Got a bunch of clean inspections and compliments from the DOT on my log book. But yet I'm the one in the wrong according to a lot of the guys on here.
So I give up. They'll never understand anything outside of what big brother says is safe.
