So I drove 15 minutes to the receiver this morning, took them 2.5 hours to unload me, then I drove 15 minutes back to the T/S, all of this was done between 1AM and 4:45 AM this morning lol Now I thiink I'm stuck here till monday morning.....But I was thinking about it and I might be able to get layover pay for this because by the time dispatch comes in on monday I'll have been empty and availble for more then 48 hours....

14 hours driving? i thought you can only drive 11 hours? if he stopped to eat, pee, and fuel, that would be close to an hour. leaving 10 hours to drive. im confused.

Jbrake1960 said: ↑645 miles? how is that possible? you said you stopped for turkey dinner as well. so eating had to take at least 45 minutes with a bathroom break. so in 10 hours you averaged 64.5mph? you never use bathroom or stretch? or do you have more than one logbook?

I started at 5am in dandridge, TN did my 15 minute pre-trip then drove 181 miles to the Conover, NC terminal which took 3 hours...then I did some paper work and a drop and hook and a pre-trip. Then I drove 15 min to the T/S to get a mud flap that was missing on the trailer then at 10am I started driving north to my fuel stop in Troutville, VA which took 2 hours and 45 minutes, then 15 minutes to fuel and a 15 minute break then back on the road at 1:15pm and drove 1 hour and 45 minutes to Timberville, VA for a 15 minute break. Then started driving again at 3:15pm to Harrisburg, PA which took 2 hours and 45 minutes. Then I had my thanks giving dinner and did my 10 hour break there.....Total drive hours 10.5, total On Duty Not driving .75, total off duty .25, total Sleeper hours 12.5 and a total of 645 miles! and average 61.42 mph. With a 65 mph truck and 65-70mph speed limits and every stop either being on or right off the HiWay thats perfectly legal to do.......
