Efficient use of HOS

You wouldn’t need a 30 minute break right before a 10 hour break, and you don’t have to log a post trip, unless your company wants you to.

And your loads and when you load and unload won’t let you drive like that, unless you’re all anytime drop and hook.

And the 70 hour rule will force you to take resets if you could drive that hard.
Good luck

 

Why would you take an 8 hour break? Driving 11 and taking a 10 would give you 13 hours and 30 minutes of driving. Remember the good ol' days when you could drive 16 hours in a day?

 

well you still can just avoid weigh stations and dot

 

Sooner or later, D.O.T. will catch you. It is NOT worth the risk.

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

 

Say you start at 0000
Drive 8 hours 0800
30min DOT 0830
Drive 3 hours 1130
30min Post Trip 1200
10 hours off 2200
30min pre trip 2230
Drive 1.5 hours 2400 Been full 24 hours

You still drove 12.5 hours in a 24 hour period....Thats if your company makes you log your pre trip/post. So whatever plan you had works no matter how you do it in a 24 hour period... You will learn though that nothinf ever goes according to plan lol

 

30 minutes, post/pre trip?? holy crap !
some of mine are like 10 minutes.

 

Same but some companies require you to show on your logs. My company requires it and paid by the hour so i don't mind it at all lol

 

Start at midnite, drive 5, take a 2 hr break, drive 5, take an 8 hr sleeper, drive 5 (only 4 (minus your 30 min pti around your 8)gets logged before the following midnite)...I refer to it as split log leapfrog, it eliminates the need for a 30 minute break.
