JJ's Place

no loads out of boiise. deadheaded back to yard. had a choice of hauling butt for rebar to new mexico and bring back a load on saturday. which wasn't going to happen for pickup. so i pickup in morning and deliver on tuesday,.

#### boss really needs to start realizing that i NEED SLEEP every so often. this is just getting outta hand.

question of the day.

how many miles can be driven legally in a day at 62mph?

 

675-690 depeeding on traffic etc

 

@ 820 miles if all goes well and you were able to do the max allowable drivable. Better make that 800, forgot the PTI and didn't include any fuel stops.

 

At the house now and its going to be a real quiet weekend. Rest of the family going camping. Get an extra day off myself since this is a family company and they take hollerdays. Can use the extra day for setting up truck and catching up on sleep. Know where snowwy's coming from for sure!!!!!!!!!!!

 

the tanks go 1300 miles so no fuel stops. only pee stops.

the office says i'm in violation of over hours. and speeding. and other things.

i'm the only one that can make my logs work for the amount of driving i do. but they can't seem to comprehend that my logs are computer. it's IMPOSSIBLE for me to be in violation of ANYTHING.

today i asked them how come dot never finds anything wrong but the office finds a whole bunch of crap.

now i can see forgetting to do something that needs to be written in. but i think the computer knows what it's doing when it comes to the rules. and i have the software set for 60mph. so i can't flag any miles that exceed the alloted time clocked in. and it most certainly won't let me go over my hours.

working 14 hours in a 24 hour day is not allowed. neither is driving 735 miles. which is the most i've logged on one sheet.

14 hours times 65 mph comes to 910 miles.

today i told them to leave my logs alone and we'll get along just fine. dot doesn't say anything and that's all that counts. the office can F off.

 

Starting from the day before and running at night, with a 10 hr break, and a 15 PTI, 13.75 hrs of drive time is certainly legal. Not something I would want to do very often tho.

 

you have 24 hours in a day. so you drive 11. take your 10. what you gonna do for the remaining 3?

 

Start the next drive time line?

 

Start driving again...

 

Yup, I have had many 13 hour driving days that way. Before and after e-logs. Perfectly legal.
