Enjoy the downtime while ya got it.

 

Congrats, by the way it was good meeting you on the shuttle. Keep the wheels on the pavement and you will do fine

 

Walmart has a 12v cooler for $88. It works good so far.

 

I got the $88 cooler from wally world and it works great. I got it to fit in the fridge spot with some styrofoam blocks under it. otherwise the door won't open. I can fit about $50 of groceries into that thing and have room for drinks. Bottle water or can of coke cools off in an hour in that thing.... Good investment, and I think you can get the same kind at some T/S's.

 

You're leaving your current location after a 34-hour reset to drive to your 03... arriving at 2130 hours, yes? And you will park there overnight?

You can do an 8/2 split sleeper berth break at your 03 and 04. You're starting off after a 34-hour reset, so you can leave your current location, drive to your 03. After logging 8 continous hours in the sleeper you unload. Drive to your 04 and finish the break with 2 hours off there - unless you can make that work while at the 03 after unloading -don't blow say 1.5 hours off-duty at the 03 while waiting, just finish the split with that out to the two hours. The 8-hour break will not count against the 14 calculated after leaving your current location, so you'll have time to make it to the 04.

Be aware that the 11 and 14 hour clocks for your day will be a little different. The clocks do not start at the end of the 8-hour break until after you complete the split at your 04. The line 4 time at your 03, the drive time to the 04 and the 2-hour break at your 04 will count against your 14. Your elogs will calculate all of this for you, but you will need to keep a close eye on your time.

You might want to delay your departure since you'll be in the sleeper for only 8 hours at the 03, but make sure you have some extra time to take care of unforseen circumstances. That 8-hour sleeper break is a minumum - it can be anywhere from 8 hours to 9 hours and 59 minutes to count, but it must be shown as a continuous period on line 2.

 

8 is the minimum. So don't leave your current location too early - but you can be at the receivers door 8:01 after arriving!

any combination of line 1 or line 2 adding up to 2 hours works for the short break of a split. But it must be 2 hours minimum at your 04. Watch the available drive time counter on your QualComm... it will reflect the change of 11/14 start times to the end of your 8-hour break when that 2 hours is up.

Yup, that's the plan!

You do have to be more aware of your time when doing this... so keep an eye on what you have left while the day progresses.
