{"text":"ok your driving and for whatever reason (traffic weather etc) you get held up which throws off your planned trip. you have 30 mins left on your clock but you need 45 mins to get to nearest safe haven. do you pull over with a few mins left on your clock and throw yourself into pc or do you pull over with 20 mins left do a post trip and than put yourself into pc?","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true,"externalShare":false}

836417 发表于 2020-02-10 15:43:19 i was taught that you stop the clock with about 10 mins left and than go into pc. when you get stopped do a small post trip and than sleeper and not make a habit of this. but you should always show 10-15 mins pre and post trip

{"replyTo":"","text":"Probably the latter.  I normally try to find 2 or more places to stop.  Then I look for a location where I will have at least an hour leftover just in case ","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"And always remember that you cannot advance your load using safe haven.  If there is a safe haven 20 minutes in the direction of your destination, and one 15 minutes the other direction, then your legal obligation is to go to the one the other way.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"I haven’t flagged a post-trip in yrs. A Post-trip is visual. A minimal inspection. If I dont have to touch anything (such as open hood, tire pressure, crawl under trailer) I dont need to flag it.\nIf you pull over to grab food or use restroom, as you are walking back to truck you visually inspect it but you dont flag it.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"I start looking one hour left. Because traffic and weather can throw you off plenty of times. I just started been trucking for a month, so I would like to know what others would do in this situation.","replyToPid":0}

","text":"Umm. So, you have a broken air bag, flat tire, air leak somewhere, you know, the things that could be fixed while you do your break.  And you don’t go find it?  While you are technically correct, it’s better to find the issues before they cost you a day of driving.\n\n🤦‍♂️. “I don’t always get my issues fixed, but when I do, I make sure that I am missing out on miles driven”","replyToPid":322602}

{"replyTo":"","text":"There is a 2 hour extension on your hours for traffic and weather you can use. Every system has a different way to record it. Some companies disable it. That is what you are supposed to use to use. The PC to safe haven is a loading/unloading exception and has different rules.","replyToPid":0}
