pattyj and GenericUserName Thank this.

Once you start your 14 hour clock you have only 11 hours of legal drive time in there. So potentially you have 3 hours worth of breaks built in right there notwithstanding appointment times for your customer. As you get more advanced you can try the Split Sleeper Berth Provision wherein you would drive x amount of hours then take a 2 hour break or 8 hour sleeper break then drive the balance of 11 minus x and save yourself 30 minutes down time every driving day shift.

"Oh Six, you Supertrucker. You're what's wrong with the industry today. You horrible person. It's people like you that give truck drivers a bad name. I hate you."

I'm not a driver yet but figure I'm gonna stop and pee and stretch my legs every 2-3 hours.
Do trainers and students carry pee jugs !!! -
I recommend a bottle of sunny d.
Looks less suspicious when you go dump it out at the customer.
I had someone ask me once if they could have a drink...
Nooooo this is MY sunny d!
Gatorade bottles are easier to aim but you risk overflow. ...then you gotta grab the ###### pilot cup you just bought.
The struggle.
The struggle.

We are running Cali to PA and back so suppose it qualifies as 5500 miles+......Here is an example of the pressure: After i tooj my 30 at truck stop. Trainer said "you know you could log off duty ar fuel island. Fuel truck, pull forward, run in and grab whatever you need and whrn you come out your 30 will be done" lol im not dinging those that choose to do that but hell i use every second ofbthe 30 personally.As if him always asking me to log fueling as off duty isnt enough. But thats off topic.
