Same thing as the last video. You need a class on trip planning for one. You are a liability at this point. No way if I'm told to be somewhere at 0800 and i have hours I'm stopping with that long of a drive the next day. You need to learn to plan your day not just figure it out later. You'll never lose the rookie status. Didn't even know 1730 had to count? Our whole industry is in military time. How have you still not learned it. Dude please seek help in bettering yourself in your trips so you stop embarrassing your self for one and two getting us to comment better. GP needs to help you before you cost them.

Some truckers told me since I’m working on my cdl is to learn how to read a map first, then if you use a gps, which almost everyone does, to only use it until you get into the city/town then switch to google maps because apparently that would be more accurate. I don’t know how true it is but it seems helpful.

There is an easier way ,for example 1300 is 1pm 1400 is 2pm so all u have to do is 13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24...so basically all in order is 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 ect ect no need for subtraction just remember the zeros at the end..

Are you ever going to make any videos with more driving along in an interesting place or with scenery? Maybe mountains, snow, foggy conditions. Every video is you backing up to deliver, backing up to pickup, and backing up to park for the night. It’s cool to see what goes on along the way too, and give us a break from the cautions.
