Abilene Motor Express....A New Place To Call Home

Hey JB, this is a GREAT thread! I like the way you describe your days, your job routine and all. One question, for those who like to stay on the road for 2 to 3 moths at a time and take between 4 to 6 days off, is that possible in this company? And one other thing, the new changes to HOS... how is that going to affect your working hrs, reset, recap, miles and all?

 

Oh yeah, 3 other questions, what is their personal conveyance policy? And how much is the detention pay? Is there a limit to the hrs they pay?

 

You talking about split berth?

 

Hey JB, so far you haven't gone anywhere west, right? Are you running regional or 48 states? And how fast does your truck go? Is it governed?

 

Ran into that same situation last week in Westwood KS. Sucked big time.

 

As far as I know we can't split time. Not like the earlier days when I would do 5 and 4. They 8 hour time will reset itself but not the 14 hour as it must be a consecutive 10 with 8 hours minimum consecutive spent in the sleeper.
