I'm on my second restart since Friday . Got back from a 900 mile round trip to retrieve a rolled tanker Friday night . Did a restart and left Monday on a drop and hook 850 miles each way . Got home 4 p.m. last night and now on another restart . Leaving tomorrow morning for that same drop and hook run .
Too many 34 hour resets, not enough driving. I am on...

Isn't this the slow time for freight?

That's what I like about working for a small fleet. If I'm sitting for more than a day, 95% of the time I'm at home chasing a 2 year old bent on destroying all she touches!

Aren't you glad the new HOS will reduce restarts to once a week ?

So have you noticed if anyone has sued yet to get an injunction? That is going to hurt a bunch of companies and drivers.

I havnt had a reset since December today us payday, gross 1320.61,net 1042.41. That's only two trips, I held 2 back for next payday. Maybe you should change companies
Red Hot Mess Thanks this. -
Won't hurt a driver in the least. You can still drive the same number of hours a day, with proper planning.
The only companies it will hurt, are those that still haven't learned to spell L-O-G-I-S-T-I-C-S.
Bottom feeders will be driven out even faster.....Red Hot Mess Thanks this. -

This thread is making me realize that my dispatcher, and planner are pretty awesome. Since the first of October, I've taken 2 resets, and one was my fault (newb planning mistake).
