    I'd say I average AT LEAST 60 hrs/wk actual clock time. Log book time may differ.

    Disclaimer: Driving anything more than 11 hrs after 10 consecutive hours off duty, or more than 70 hrs in any 8 day period is illegal and not encouraged by myself or any of the Mods/Admin of this site.

    Myself I would say a little more then that for ME. I pretty much try to burn many hours up I can during the week, then do a 34 Friday, saturday or sunday. So, I usually hit somewhere around 66-75 that's my goal every week but does not always happen according to fright

    I drive about 30 minutes to work, 30 minutes home, taxi for kids during the week, but I average about 15 hours of driving!

    Come on I had to feel like I fit in here:laughing4:

    In my 15 hours of driving I have found out, DRIVING A TRUCK IS NOT FOR ME!
    I would be stressed outtttttttt!

    You do fit in, just not directly to driving. :smt047 You're that "evil" woman behind the desk who's trying to take money out of my pocket and food outta my baby's mouth and clothes off my kids' backs and whatever else you might hear when a disgruntled driver is upset at you making him run legal. :smt003
