Maverick Driver general bs thread

ok come show me.

 

The way I understand it is if today I run.out of my 14 with 6 hrs of drive time left, after 8 hrs in the sleeper, I will.get that 6 hrs back to drive. After I drive the 6, I.will.need.to.take.a.full.10.hr break.before I.can.drive again.
That is what the elogs did.for.me.the one.time I used it.

 

So if you are two hours from the house for the weekend and the 14 runs out but you still have more than two hours on your 11 you can do 8 in the sleeper, then drive the rest? What about the two hours in the sleeper?

 

I do not understand ..what two hrs in the sleeper?

What it gives you the time back....you can drive.
Mine.gave me 8 hrs back after my 8 in the sleeper.

 

You'd have to show at least two hours. The computer goes back TWO qualifying breaks and adds up the drive time. If you have less than 11 hours driving or 14 hours on duty, it will return those hours to you. Qualifying breaks begin with an eight hour break and go to the end of the last break of at least two hours. Confusing? Try reading 395.1(g) and see if that doesn't have you scratching your head. GI prefer to just let the qualcomm do it for me and not worry about the mechanics.

 

Also important to note is that the eight hour break MUST be sleeper berth but the two hour break can be sleeper/off duty or a combination. So, let's say you were off duty at a shipper because you arrived too early. You take a two hour break and begin unloading. You leave the shipper two hours later and have enough time to get to a suitable spot to rest. You sleep for eight hours and you getevrythything but the time you used from your two to the time you started your eight hour break. You just got on the road two hours earlier than you would have normally if the time you just got back allows you to go home, make it to the consignee, etc. I only use it to get home, personally.

 

Elogs take the guessing out of split breaks...your QuallComm will show you how to do it (because it does it for you).

It will give you the time back whether you're in the sleeper berth or not though...so remember to change it to SB.

 

The one thing I wish it would do with splits and resets is tell you when it anticipates them. I'd like to know that in 8 hours I'll get back so much or what time 10 hours or 34 is from now just for the sake of convenience. Easy to figure out. I'm just lazy and it's just using a few unused cycles on the cpu anyway.

Add that feature and give me directions that are less than 15% out or route (usually pretty good, but something has changed as of late) and not over 25 ton bridges and residential neighborhoods and I'm good to go with it.
