I only have 7:50 on my 70 clock .if I ended my day at 6 today and take my 34 reset and start back up right at 4 am on Sunday will I be able to make the drive it’s a 12-13 hour drive so I guessed that answers that but what if I used some time remaining on my 7:50 tomorrow at 4 am and then do a 34 hour reset I’m trying to do the math but you probably guessed it ,I suck haha anyone know if it’s possible to get this load on time .:) thanks

What do your recaps look like? That's probably going to be your better option than trying to get a 34.

I don’t have any hours added , this whole week I’ve used up about 10-13 hours a day . I made the decision to just do my 34 and call my company about it. Don’t think they’re too happy with me at the time but I’ll just try my best. :) I’m kinda confused on how recaps and split sleeper works. Sometimes I feel I could be utilizing things like this but end up sticking with what I’m comfortable with.

Hey Francis!

I want to encourage you to

Learn The Logbook Rules (HOS).

It's always easiest to do what we are comfortable with, but it keeps us struggling unnecessarily. Many truckers settle for much less than they deserve. Stretch yourself and practice the things that will help you outperform your peers.

I'm curious... if you've burned up your 70, using 10-13 hours per day, what kind of miles did you turn in?

I think you're leaving a good bit of money on the table. Knowing the rules, and understanding how to take advantage of them, is absolutely something you need to get familiar with.

That link I provided you is a great place to start.

CDL:

Commercial Driver's License (CDL)

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:

  • Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
  • Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

Logbook:

A written or electronic record of a driver's duty status which must be maintained at all times. The driver records the amount of time spent driving, on-duty not driving, in the sleeper berth, or off duty. The enforcement of the Hours Of Service Rules (HOS) are based upon the entries put in a driver's logbook.

Hey thanks for the link I’ll check it out! This week I’ve done 482,530,449,526,488. I’ve been running mostly LA , Sacramento ,las Vegas and phoenix and everywhere in between lol. I’ve read a bit about 8/2 and 7/3 but what I don’t understand is if it resets your 14 hour clock and your 11 hour or just one of them. That’s so true on the unnecessary stress I feel I put on myself trying to calculate my hours in correlation to my destinations.
