    Stay at the shipper/receivers and watch the on duty post/pre trip and fuel at the same time...
    When you come to a stop at the intersection when going to truck stop go off duty ...
    All movement isn't picked up on....
    don't start your clock until you have to...
    Go to sleeper at shipper/receiver after 5 minutes On duty (yes it's legal) if you are free to roam... if confined to an office or holding area you have to log On duty....
    7 minutes of pre trip and whatever is required for post trip 15/20??
     
    Need4Speed Thanks this.

    I would suggest going to off duty when sitting at a shipper or receiver, even if you do lay down for a nap. If you stay off duty for 2 hours, you have completed one leg of an 8-2 split, in case you need it.

    The way I run, I don't want to put my tips and tricks out here in public for all the haters to come and argue. This type of knowledge I would only give in person. That way if you want to argue I'll just turn and walk away.
     
    pmdriver and Farmerbob1 Thank this.

    I run consistently 3000-3900+ a little faster truck but keep door shut.... and the thought that to not express opinions because of a fear of opposing views is sad....
