Trip planning question

"You drive for 8 take and half our break and then drive for 3 hours."

The 30min break must be taken BEFORE the 8th hour, no? So no more than 7 3/4hr. At least this is according to our log people.

 

Huh?? the pre/post trip time is sort of a given, as is lunch breaks, potty breaks, etc. Let's not make this any more complicated then it needs to be. The point is, you can still drive 600-650 miles a day (have 11 driving hours) depending on your driving preferences on top of the PTI's and fuelings, assuming you don't take excessive breaks. PTI's never reduce your available driving time in terms of the daily 11 hour max allowance

 

Not required, only a post trip inspection is actually required.

 

newberry Spring CA to College Park MD is as it gets 2507, My son was at a frieds in MD so he could drive team with me cominback, had DOD loads both ways past that cant discuss cargo, I left Marine AB in Newberry Springs ca on Monday am 800 am, arrived in a secure locatin nar College Park MD Friday 245 am. this was with legal 10's off between 11 drive shifts taking a single 30 mid day. Monday our gate time leaving MD was 745 am, and drining team coming back we arrived at the Marine gate Yermo CA at Noon on Wednesday.

My tractor at the time belong to Laaeyse Trans of Grinnel IA and logging via peoplenet. Legal trips both ways east bound was 2507 westbound was 2550.
east bound weigh ticket at 78500 west 79400

53' refer trailer.

 

Are we being asked to do the OP's homework assignment? I feel so used ...... again.

I was just offering general pointers based on general assumptions and expecting general results. It never occurred to me that maybe a specific ETA time reply was hoped for.

 

You can legally drive 8hr 00mins 00secs

edit
8hr 00mins 59secs
at 8hr 01mins 00secs is violation

 

10 4, thank you

 

That's about how I do it, but I have shorter runs with my current carrier. I hate running with no margarine () of error. It is too stressful. To me, the most valuable part of my GPS is that I can constantly be comparing the miles left with the time left. In always doing the math. Every 50 miles, I make a mental calculation.
