    You don't make that over there? Now, I'm not making that every week, I do have weeks where I make $700,$800,$900, specially the weeks where I'm going home, but it's decent over here.

    Correct. I allow myself a 30 minute cushion in those situations. If I have say, 4 hours available on my 70, I count backwards from midnight 4 hours which would be 8PM. To give myself that cushion, I will hit the road at 8:30PM. As midnight approaches, it will appear that you are down to the wire and close to running out of time. Once the clock strikes 12, though, you will see all of the gain back hours appear, enabling you to continue rolling. It will take place while you’re going down the road, parked in a parking lot, or wherever.

    If I know I’m going to stop and eat dinner or kill some time somewhere, I might even hit the road earlier than that in that scenario. As an example, you could leave at 7PM, drive a little bit, then sit somewhere for an hour to account for it.

    It may be a weird question but, Does anyone know if we elect to purchase insurance outside of the company if they offer any "incentives"?

    I haven't heard of that option. Best to call someone in Winter Haven.

    Unpopular opinion or it may be, but I still think IRT not having APU in their trucks is a dumb idea, because you can't always idle some places, like California for example...

    You can idle in California. Everyone does it and no one cares.
