    That's right baby doll. Avoid the legal questions you know nothing about.

    LOL!!!!!!! You totally blew off $100 (two people offered) and then wonder why nobody believes you and continued on with your 4 page essays.

    He's avoided my posts about being illegal this whole thread. He's full of hot air.

    Sunday I talked to a KLLM lease driver on the Tyson account, he was SO smart, he knew everything, but his teeth looked like mice gnawed at them every night while he slept. Ick
    But he told me he made $280,000 last year, and he had several friends on Scnieders? choice board, but he couldn't take his lease truck over there, as he hadn't got his full $10,000 sign on bonus from KLLM yet.
    And he said he put down $30,000 cash on the lease truck and could buy the truck for 1 dollar at the end of the lease.
    So maybe the OP grossed 120 grand, before fuel and expenses.

    I've thought of a way it could possibly work to have 3 people with 2 training and not have them all cuddled up in one bunk at night, and that would be if there was a more experienced trainee and a brand new trainee at all times, that way one is capable of driving while he is off duty sleeping...it still means 2 guys sharing bottom bunk or one in passenger seat...and i'm not a trucker but, i think there would still be an hos violation somewhere.

    Unless you have trained two students at one time, I don't think you will ever understand. I can log whatever I want as long as it stays withing the confines of the law. Its my truck, I can sit wherever I dang well please, and log only what I have to to satisfy the regulations. Also, my students just alternated. I always drove through the night, thats not to say I would drive a whole shift. I logged what was REQUIRED of me. And I stayed withing the confines of the law.

    If that doesn't make sense to you, here it is in laymen terms:
    A truck with 3 people can move 24/7/365 without ever running out of hours, training or otherwise.

    But you CAN NOT log what you want. You have to log on duty while your student is driving. That is the LAW.
