$800 x 52 = $41,600...........you could buy one with that kind of money

 

Do you get detention if most of it is your 10 hr break?

 

you're thinking right........get a carb compliant Detroit total and you're set

 

As long as you arrived on time and the load was supposed to be ready then yes.

 

Nice. My previous company subtracted your 10 hr break from any detention earned.

 

No. No.and no. Your only other option would be a Cummins. wiring harnesses, ecm and the other enevatable problems and the best you will have is a prostar fraken truck. With a Cummins and at best a questionable warranty.

 

bro, if you're stuck, you're stuck. If you choose to log it as on duty, not driving it's up to you. But in reality, you'd be off duty

no, it's when you arrived. That said, if you arrive at noon for a 1400 load, the clock starts at 1400

 

Yea I get all that and the 6 hours after your appt, but was wondering how the break fit in. With Roehl if I was there 14 hrs, I'd get detention for 2 if I took my 10 there. (we gave 2 free hrs)

 

I am under my own authority. Right now I'm pulling prime's trailers under my own dot number in there advance fleet. The loads are there, the rates are good, they keep me making money, and I get to use there trailers if I find a better load outside of there system. Plus I have access to there fuel discounts which beats nastc's fuel program by 10-30 cpg, and we know nastc is usually 10-20 cpg better than schnieder's fuel program. The other day I fueled at the ta in hurricane, WV, the pump price was $2.54, nastc was $2.29, prime's price was $2.07. From a business standpoint, it makes sense to use them for now since I keep my costs down and revenue up.
