14 hour day is what's allowed, not what's required.
Don't listen to the other students; they're students, not experienced truckers.
Question about working 14 hours per day!!!

From the time you wake up and the time you go to sleep, you are married to your truck and the job it requires. This includes driving it, fueling it, loading/un-loading it, shining the rims with polish, staring thru the windshield, texting your bossman for instructions, inspecting it, everything ! Some days are easy-peasy, just drive 600 mi. Other days ? Drive 600 mi, unload, fuel, get flat tire repaired, argue with dispatch, flirt with waitress at lunch counter, wait in shower line for 45 min, spend 30 trying to park at your favorite Loves, (the one with 25 spots and fuel line is backed up onto the off ramp) and on and on. My point ? It all evens out, right ? Now have fun out there !

I good quality company does not FORCE you to max out every single minute of your hours of service. Just work no more than 8 to 9 hours a day and you will be good.
Farmerbob1 Thanks this. -
It also depends on YOU and what you want to do. I don’t like to max out my Dailey hours then be home 1 or 2 days a week. I like staying out as long as possible without going home and I enjoy working everyday so I try not to go over 8.75 hours a day that way I don’t have to take a 34 hour reset very often.
