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

Thats a center the double stripe bridge, then GOAL, lol. I always worry if they update the bridge height signs when they repave the roads. Sometimes they don't mill the old road up and just add blacktop over it then that obviously that raises the surface height but they don't update the sign. Just gotta be very careful and pre plan your trip thoroughly.

 

Yeah, I drove straight down the center line and, like I said, I had plenty of clearance. Wasn't even close.

 

Looks like the new HOS regs are in effect. Went on-duty this morning for my daily pre-trip and the clock stayed at 8:00 until I started driving even though I was clearly on duty.

 

Taking a reset out in Colton.

 

Did it let you not have to take a 30 minute off duty break? I still had to today.

 

Yeah, I still had to. But it didn't tick down my 8-hour clock when I was on-duty.

 

The 30 can be off or on duty.

 

I don’t really see much benefit in the new HOS rules. It’s all about time management in my opinion. Some things happen which we just can’t control when driving and just have to make the best of it.

 

It put me in violation. So have no idea.
