","text":"Time is money, but not always. Driving fast or always using the toll roads isn’t always necessary and I’d argue that for most people it’s wasteful and hurting your bottomline. Scenarios where it would be necessary to do what you suggest would be running on a dedicated route where you must drive 70 mph or else you won’t make it, but that’s rarely the case for most drivers.","replyToPid":436103}

{"replyToPid":0,"replyTo":"","text":"Make use of the “yard move” if available instead of actual drive time, this way you can drive more for the day. However, “yard move” still counts against your 70, so make sure you put it back on sleeper break as soon as you’re done with it. You can use yard move pretty much anywhere that is not a public road, but check with your company as they may have their own (stricter) policy.\n\nIf you can use PC, use it, but legally of course. So take advantage of it because it won’t count towards your 70 at all. Also, don’t abuse it because it can become a problem if a DOT were to inspect your logs. Unless you’re on time off, you shouldn’t be using PC every day. Maybe 1-2 times per week is okay, and save your receipts for further proof like you went to Walmart or McDonald’s, etc. \n\nWhen you’re backing up, put the truck on sleeper break. It actually doesn’t matter how fast you drive in reverse at least on the Omnitracs device. You can do 10 mph and it won’t change you to drive time, but then again, nobody is going to be reversing that fast. \n\nWhenever possible and practical, move the truck under 4 mph for short distances. There’s no need to put the truck on yard move or drive time if you’re moving just a bit, say, within a small shipper/receiver. And of course, be mindful of others, so if there’s a lot of traffic, you don’t want to be delaying everyone while you drive at 4 mph. "}

","text":"Oh yeah, I did forget to think about the loads I run. Not going to be the same for a new company guy. Yes, you are 100% correct, as my runs are always dispatched above the 65 mph avg. But, it is still good knowledge for time management when that would be priority over $ consumption. Good call on catching that! 😎👍","replyToPid":436251}

{"replyToPid":0,"replyTo":"","text":"@ Vampire Kid\n\nBad idea. That won’t give you the most driving hrs in a week. What it will do is give you the ability to run every day without running out of hrs, and realistically it’s not driving 8:45 hrs per day, it’s more like driving 8:10 hrs per day because you have to log daily inspections, fuel, shipper/receiver, etc. The method you speak of has its usage like for team drivers where one driver should always have drive time so you run him at 8:45 “on duty” hrs per day."}

","text":"If you have a liad due in 2 days that is really tight (48 hours) and you do one of the split sleeper berth options with the larger part of either 8 or 7 in the sleeper and the smaller part of 2 or 3 on “Off Duty” ...then you will save yourself 1 hour (a half hour for each split sleeper period) total before arrival to destination in order to be on time. It does not save on driving hours but it saves on time management to deliver. You just need to be careful that the option works to the advantage of having the 2 or 3 hours off when waiting in dock on arrival, that way you are ready to roll after you are empty and forced to leave property and go puck up the next load.\n\nNot recommended to do split slepper all the time because it will wear your a** out!\n\nLike the old log book of running 5 / 4 / 5 / all the way to 70, before log changes after 2003.\n\nAlso on that, Use a melatonin pill to get good sleep while in the split sleeper. Dont over do your energy shots and caffeine when awake. Sometimes good to do a couple push ups or sit ups or jog in place to wake up.","replyToPid":436136}
