Where Are You....continues........

better you than me hee hee....

 

Absolutely Teddy_bear... you know, I was sitting on the driver's chair here, doing my paper log (to match my elog), enjoying the nice breeze... and a gentleman walked by my window and asked, "Would you like something cold to drink?" I replied, "No, but thank you..." And then he said, "I can't understand how you endure this heat..." And I replied, "Sir, I am from Brasil...." And he said, "Ah, then probably this is cold for you..." LOL... Told him my thermometer was showing 84 F and that was just PERFECT! He shook his head in disbelief... "However", I said, "winter is a KILLER!" And he smiled...

It APPEARS that the new HOS won't hurt me a bit. I regularly do plenty of time on line one in a day. And if 168 hours is exactly 7 days and begins at the start of the last reset then I'll still be getting one each weekend.

I however can see how the new rules could REALLY mess up an OTR!

 

don't you stay within the 100 mile radius and don't need to log?

 

Rocks... enjoy the heat.

Indra... you'll do fine on 75. Monteagle is on I24.

Eaton... it sucks being out of your truck.

Pete... it sucks being broken down.

Truckon... heck, I'll pick on ya!

Otter... ya better hide over here. The gals may decide to gang up on ya over in the Hijack Clubhouse.

Me? Took Truckerdawg for a long walk before dinner. He got some left over steak. At the Petro in Carlisle, delivering in the o'dark AM.

 

It begins (the 168 hours) at the time you begin your next shift with a fresh 70. That is why the local guys, and especially the night crew, will be getting dinged.

Off Friday evening 1900 > 34 complete Sunday 0500 > your shift begins Monday 0darkthirty....

 

Company makes us log. If the new rules somehow screw me up from making money then perhaps I'll just fly under the radar.

 

Pete, I think Truckon is missing you picking on him

I'm calling it a day/night. Y'all gotta quit talking so much. It took me all weekend to catch up on what I missed last week..

 

Mason City, Iowa at WallyWorld, listening to the gentle hum of my new TK Precedent.
