That was my first thought when I read that. Hopefully, he is smart enough to not mention that in a situation where it would tend to be inappropriate.

That is the rules according to DOT/FMCSA.
Do we do that..........................Yeah right.....bottomdumpin Thanks this. -
Then I either switch between the shop's drivers lounge and the cab of the truck for 34+ hours, or I get a hotel room.
It's really not complicated to do it legally. -

I run constantly on recaps. They are a blessing and a curse depending on you situation. The problems are the DM sees you have 8 hours remaining and a trip that is 480 miles. Seems plain mathematically possible, but they don’t understand that 15min for pre trip, arrival, scale, post trip, fuel and having enough time driving to a truck stop automatically rob you of at least 1.5 hours per day. So you can only realistically run 360-420 mile with a fleet truck in that 8 hours.
Recaps work great in an ideal world if you only drove exactly 9 hours and used exactly 1 hour for your on duty actions, but never works that way.
Blessing, you can truly say you don’t have enough hours till tomorrow.
Curse, you can’t run and get that bigger run cause you don’t have enough hours
I’m glad that I’m going back to regional. Can run my 11 out each day plus on duty and be home every weekend. Start off next week fully rested not being stuck in a truck waiting for more hours.RussianBearTruckeR and Farmerbob1 Thank this. -
