I’m logging about 45-50 hours a week (Monday thru Friday). This is our busy season so I work half day on Saturdays occasionally. I’m home by Noon if I choose to work on Saturday and since I’d sleep until around 9:00 anyway, it really doesn’t have any bearing on my Saturday. Lol
This is an interesting topic to me because you often see these OTR trailers with messages on the back that say “We’ve got the miles”, but you rarely see “You’ll burn your 70 here” messages.
How many hours do you log a week?

Usually i do 60-65.
I turn pa to ga twice a week, it's almost exactly 30hrs each trip.
Normally i end up with 10 hrs left at the end of the week.

Near 70, and I keep recapping for the 2nd week. Than I go home. It's gets very old fast.

My respects go to local drivers or dedicated that deal with the same boring #### everyday. And extra respects to those in high traffic madness on daily basis and try to park at same time everyday.

Ive had situations where we burn a team worth of logs in two trips to and from LA in 6 days and change. Boom out of hours for midnight the 7th or 8th day. It's a chance to catch up and make ready for the next round trip. -
With paper logs, as many as we want,,,
Canadianhauler21, thewolfpack, skinnytrucker and 1 other person Thank this. -
Paper logs, E logs, it's about the same. Around 60-65. Shorter days can come back to haunt you if you have to run on recap.
stwik and Canadianhauler21 Thank this. -
Now that I’m local, that’s never an issue.bryan21384 Thanks this.
