You get 70 hrs in the week for on duty and driving. The Idea is to only go on duty when necessary to save hrs. If you eat up your hrs to soon then you will have to sit for 34 hrs to get a fresh 70 back.

Maybe I’m just not looking at it the same way because I’m not trying to chase a buck. Just need something to cover the Difference between active duty pay and retirement pay everything after that is fun money.

It doesn't stop the 14 hour day clock, but it does save on your 70. -
Regional, so you're probably looking to be home weekly. In most cases that's going to mean the company is going to expect you to working long days.Mototom Thanks this. -

I don’t think you’ll find many trucking jobs that’ll let you coast. I go to work Sunday evening and get home Friday evening, if all goes according to plan, and I’m in my truck, or near my truck, the entire time. That’s typical. As already noted, trucking companies don’t invest in expensive equipment without expecting a return on their investment.
