    The guy who posted this thread didnt know his ### from a hole in the ground. Not 2 years later he’s making 90k with company paid benefits and a 401k. Debt free. Owns his car, owns his house. Totally different story today.

    Yep. No way you can run 8.75 hrs 7 days a week in the OTR cross-country refrigerated world where distant appointments are often set assuming a minimum of 10 hrs will be spent driving each day, for 3-5 days straight and a solo operation.

    Right, simply stated I had heard that before that even if you’re running teams and you keep about a nine hour a day average…(or 8.75 to be exact) You’ll never run out of hours and you can keep going ad Infinitum!!!However there’s always something that comes up to throw a wrench in the best laid plans.

    Exactly, that’s why I said in a previous post… Best laid plans are… In an ideal world 8.75 hours exactly would work out to never having to take a reset. But on our world there’s always an obstacle or adversity to overcome.

    Shhhhhhhh! Let’s pretend it’s new, and let’s make up new stuff. I’ll start!

    The only way to reset your 70 is to rest for 34 hours. Additionally, you have to catch 2 Kentuckians and notify me for pickup arrangements.

    2 Kentuckians? If you keep being greedy, you'll soon run out.
