Hours of service violations

Ya... Your trainer is off on his thinking.

Me and my trainer ran on 10's based on the other guys break.

I regularly ran it to 10:45 if he was asleep. Cause I knew it was all about knocking down those hours.

BUT, I made very sure I had a landing spot in mind and avoided violations.

He did caution me about running it so close, once your on your own with no teammate....

I would advise finding something at the one hour mark. You never know when a accident or other random crap will get you Stuck against the clock.

 

I did say 'someplace legal', I do believe.
I doubt a cop would tell you to move the truck if you were legally parked.

Or maybe I didn't state that.
I should have, though.

 

Are you trying for the dumbest post ever award?

 

I guess I need to apologize for past remarks. It's obvious that something I said in the past has put you on edge where I am concerned.

I was simply pointing out that I could be forced to move my truck even though I didn't want to. Nothing more.

 

Did I really sound that way?
Not intended in the least.

You responded to me saying that one should shut down before running out of hours by mentioning that a cop might not like where one shut down and might be required to move.

But like I said, I didn't mention to shut it down someplace that was legal to do so.

Personally I don't shut down on ramps or side streets.
I tried a side street once and a cop was right there telling me to move out.
Now I only stop at truck stops or rest areas, and I plan my trips to give me plenty of time.

Nothing you have said in the past has put me off with you. I'm sorry if my response indicated that.

 

I wonder how much driving experience does your trainer have? And how can you properly train someone if they re not doing and showing you the right way to do things?
