    I think your trooper may be a jerk. I wonder if he knows your trainer (and pulls him over frequently). But then again, I don't even know what a Gore lane is? Care to enlighten the uninitiated? I'm only on "driving distractions" in the CDL book I'm studying. :biggrin_25524:

    At an exit, it is the point where the roads diverge. Usually have a bunch of barrels or a collapsible guard rail in case you try to "gore" yourself on the point.

    He was looking for excuses to write tickets because he didn't know what the hell he was talking about!

    Klingon, you should never have to refuse a load as a team. You should be able to work it so that you guys can always drive. Oh wait, the run elogs now, nevermind, that maybe a little more tricky. Before they had those elogs we were able to run 24/7 as a team.
     
    dixiedeadlight Thanks this.

    The 'gore point' is the pointed area that is between the first lane and the exit.... you will sometimes see the yellow barrels setting in part of the gore point that is filled with either water or sand.

    I got it figured (now if it will work or not is another story) but if a person does a 15 minute pretrip and a 15 minute post trip (with a team, I don't see why a pti for one driver can't count as the post trip for the 1st.
    But... that will give you 30 minutes and then if you drive 9 to 9.25 hours, you will never have to do a 34 reset.
     
    Lady K Thanks this.
