Then you’re taking to long to tarp.

No, tarp just fine.

Okcke, stwik, Oxbow and 1 other person Thank this.

I used to log 30 minutes no matter what. But now I log it like it happens. I’m home weekends so it doesn’t matter if I come in with 15 hours or 20 hours left on my 70. I get what you other guys are saying and I’d do the same as you if my situation were different.

When a couple 2-3 hour tarp jobs means the difference between getting home and getting stuck 4-5 hours out (requiring a driver to come with a car to come get the truck), I'll take getting home and the full paycheque.BigCam9670, Bean Jr., Tug Toy and 2 others Thank this.

90 minutes at most for me to strap and tarp, usually it’s an hour or under. Only time it takes longer is when I have to move my rope to another row of rings when I haul 60” wide stuff.
I’d run out of my 14 on Friday before anything else, and logging an extra hour earlier in the week wouldn’t affect that. -
What I have done before is show on duty loading for about 20 minutes when I show up then log off duty and get the 30 minute break in while strapping, chaining or tarping because I usually run my 11 or 14 down to 30 minutes or less before shutting down.
-
If you want to legally get a break in after loading/unloading you have to log at least 30 mins on duty before or following a break. Even loading/unloading after a 10 hour break
At least that’s what the log lady at my company says.
I thought what if your unloaded faster..
She says it doesn’t matter, and this is what she does for a living lol
so I guess that’s what I go by
