Continuous Driving

I understand that, it was just a scenario, not written in stone, but it DOES let the driver slide his times around quite a bit without running into the end of his clock.

As I said, this is NOT something that the company is advocating, just had some drivers asking about it and was making sure that it could still be done and not be affected by the new rules.

Again MN, you know NOTHING about our operation!!! I myself, by myself, can and have fully unloaded our trailers had p/w signed and back in the truck in less than 45 min. that IS TYPICAL for us.

To reload, is about the same, maybe an hour if your SLOW. If you are going to keep telling me what I should do and not do I wish you would be better versed on our setup, otherwise, it is just painfully obvious to everyone here, that you just like to stir the pot.

Again, I can't help it in your half-fast world if it takes YOU that long to load and unload your truck, just about everyone here seems to realize that we are a specialized carrier in a niche market, and do not operate like your typical van/reefer/flatbed company.

Keep something else in mind, we NEVER have to tarp, we NEVER have to scale out, we NEVER have to slide a 5th wheel, we NEVER have to slide axles, we are NEVER over height, we are NEVER over width, we NEVER have to placard, we NEVER have to sit at a dock.

I have NOT had a single driver UNDER 3200 miles since we went on E-logs, go ahead, tell me what else I'm doing wrong.

Half of 1200 is 600, and they are your numbers not mine, I have NEVER been secretive about what we do, hell there are pictures all over the car hauler thread of my equipment.

We haul oversize vehicles, not oversize in the sense that they are over dims, but oversize in that they would not fit well on a conventional auto hauler.

Most of my business is hauling buses, firetrucks, emergency equipment, cargo vans, limo's, etc. Our trailers are all custom built for this type of work, and I have built my customer and contact base over a period of 20 years.

It isn't anything that someone could just jump into and duplicate as they could by buying a reefer/van and signing up to a load board.

 

Yeah, C, most of our stuff I can drop any time, EVEN if I have a load of just cars/pickups coming back to Kansas I can always drop them at my terminal and then have them delivered by our local truck the next available day.

Which leaves my OTR truck empty to reload at the yard and take off if they want. But I do understand what you are saying.
