{"replyTo":"","text":"Like 2Truckerbabes, I also prefer to start early. Anywhere between midnight and 3am. I’ll take my break around the 6 hour mark. Then I’ll be parked for the day between noon and 3pm. \n\nI also have a dog with me on the road, so parking is a MUST every day. I park the truck at 3pm no matter what, so I know for a fact, I’ll find a spot. ","replyToPid":0}

The ground is the first toilet and still works great. Along major highways, you ain’t ever further than a mile from food and water.\n\nYou shutdown when you out of time or out of energy. If you’re late, you’re late, blame it on preplanner if you put in 8-10 hours of driving a day.","replyToPid":0}

1074972 发表于 2023-03-30 00:24:10 I like to start early in the day, take my 30 at about 5 hours in, and then shut down early in the evening. Depending on where you're driving to and when your load is due will impact these factors. if you're a rookie \"run a tight ship\" till you get the hang of things. Once you get a couple years under your belt you will be able to relax a bit. My boss suggests running 600 miles a day which is about 9 hours. That way you don't fatigue easily. Not every company has that POV.

","text":"600 miles could take 12hr atimes. It always depend on traffic /road conditions and driver battery level. If you battery (energy =alertness) is high , you can safely run 770miles per day, in 11hrs driving limit usually this would be those runs after a reset or a longer than regular 10hrs break with extra curriculums like check out of truck, exercise, play, go shopping, visit a friend etc.","replyToPid":473489}
