Everyone has a learning curve. My advice is to become a master of your logs. It will make you more money and less stress

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

Yeah I will continue to learn more, thank you. 😃💪🏾

[@archibaldamory4164]

Remember: You can always PC when your. Clock runs out from Shipper or Receiver to SAFE HAVEN- NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES......FMCSA RULE

[@offroadvehiclelover]

Wrong. You cannot advance load, so you have to drive backwards with PC. Also, depends on company, some allow 30 mins while other 2 hours of PC. Hell, I've worked at one with no pc was allowed at all. 😂

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

Yeah the parking wasn’t backwards. I would be advancing the load if I pc. It was in a very tricky situation. You’re right, I cannot advance to load using PC, that I knew at the time

[@GPROMOTIONS]

@@offroadvehicleloverif you was on shipper or receiver and runs out of hours you can used PC no matter if you advance the load But must go to the closer rest safe place or parking And if this safe place is on direction to advance your load isn't a problem But don't drive 100-200 miles bcz they will not believe you that you don't find a safe place to park

[@LifeOfATruckerOTR]

@@offroadvehiclelover you can go from a shipper the closest place you can shutdown but leaving the shipped your block has to be at 0… 14 hour clock has to be completely used up and your time expired while getting loaded. But if you master your logs and do great trip planning you typically won’t have those issues

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

@@GPROMOTIONS that sounds fair, even though I was thinking I cannot advance the load with PC. I will contact my log teacher again and ask her. She did mention this but I heard so many other things I forgot what she said about pc and advancing loads using pc. 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@Wombats-1]

It’s always a great thing to get a load on your back before taking your break. Even if you have 10 minutes on your clock. You can sleep so much better knowing the work is done and wake up just having to drive. It’s even better if they take over 10 hours to load you, so you won’t need to park. I love when I can get the new load in the same shift as getting unloaded

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

Yeah, I wanted to keep rolling, when I drop off that load I wanted to just pick up the second load and drive out the rest of the clock then shut down. Knowing when I wake up from the 10, I could just keep rolling. That’s exactly what I did, but time almost got me 😂 now I am all the way in Iowa 💪🏾

[@gillahousing]

Close. I’m heading to Utah I’m in psd training. I appreciate the videos… stay and safe

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

I am heading to Utah as well. I was heading to California but I switch load with two guys running team, because they can get to California faster, and I took their load going to Utah. 😂

[@AnthonyProfeta-rt6hj]

Hey I love your videos ima rookie driver as well what I do is I start my shift early like 6 am everyday so in case your 11 hour runs out it’s still early to find parking and it works every time that’s my advice. Be safe bro

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

Thanks for watching the channel Anthony😃. I start my shift at 11pm and run until 9-10am I am on my way from New Jersey to Utah , and I’ve only been driving nights. But maybe my next load I will see if my schedule can run at day time. I love might driving though, because I get better fuel mileage, I just let it roll down the highway lonely 😂

[@AnthonyProfeta-rt6hj]

@@RomaneTheTrucker nice I’m in Washington but yea I drive days because I notice all the truckers like to shut down at night and you can’t find parking so I start early and I usually find a place stay safe bro

[@royalmac1011]

Yep, the north east lacks truck stops. Got to plan with a 3 hour buffer when going up there.

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

Now I am heading out west, there are truck stop everywhere 😂. I am in Nebraska now at a loves and so many spots were available I didn’t know which one to choose 😂. I take the easier parking spot though. A easy pull through.

[@NiccoOnGo]

You should’ve done a 8/2 Split break, keep learning….

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

I thought of taking a split break, but there was no place to park and take that 8/2 split. Maybe one day I will get to. Outage to park up on the side of the road somewhere and don’t feel too scared of the cops lol. The Closes parking was a hour away. The shipper was ready to load me so I went there thinking I could get the load and have at least 2-3 hours to drive to a truck stop in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania was 70 miles away from where I picked up. A truck stop was right there as I enter Pennsylvania on i80. I am learning though I think the 8/2 split would be perfect but I was scared to park on the side of the road 😂😂

[@offroadvehiclelover]

​@@RomaneTheTruckerNot sure if you know by now, but assuming from the comment you don't. Once you stop @ warehouse to check-in and get a door, wait for more than 2 hours you qualify for 8-2 split. Just have to switch it to sleeper birth. Then you're clock would've froze with however much drive time and 14h clock also. Live and learn. Safe travels.

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

Oh I thought I would have to spend 8 hours in the sleeper if I had split 😂😂 so you’re saying I could have spent two in the sleeper to froze the clock 😮. Live and I learn. I am still a rookie, I will fully master this split break more. If I could go back I would split break as soon as I back into the dock 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@NiccoOnGo]

@@RomaneTheTrucker all you have to do is on duty checking in at customer/ pickup drop trailer register that for 15 mins and go off duty for 2 hours and you would’ve being cool chilling

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

Oh cool, I. Understand now. I even heard getting load I have to be on duty but I always think that will eat up the 14 lol. Now I will do split if I don’t have enough time. 💪🏾😃

Next time u have little hours on ur clock ask the office where u get ur paperwork about local parking areas, its hit r miss but can help u find closer parking, and ask them if they offer overnight parking on there lot as well.

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

I will definitely ask about local parking, chances are they might know somewhere, that’s a fact. Thank you 😃💪🏾

Get you a Trucker Path. It got all Truck Stops and Rest Area for Parking

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

I have trucker path on my phone but they want me to pay a monthly fee. So what I do is , find the truck stop address on the trucker path, then put it in the truck gps

[@kelvinstuckey1550]

I only pay one fee a year. Get you a subscription

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

I will look into it, I appreciate the suggestion 😃💪🏾

[@R.O.T.C._SEEM]

When it's a drop and hook the only thing you want to hear is the load is ready. Anything other than that means they haven't loaded it yet

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

She said it was ready when I call, and she said they are not busy. But she ment I could come early to get live load 😂 I should have split break for the 2 hours in the sleeper, I made a rookie mistake 🤦🏽‍♂️💪🏾

[@AsdeTheory]

I like those headphones 🎧 what’s the brand? Great video bro!

[@leejr9999]

Next time just stay in sleeper berth for 2 hours and it will push your 14 hour back.

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

That’s what I am realizing now. I thought split break was 8 hours in the sleeper berth. If I could go back I would split break as soon as I back into the dock😂I am learning 💪🏾😃

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

So apparently I messed up my clock, I should have use a split break to freeze my clock. Big rookie mistake by me. I am still learning the game🤦🏽‍♂️😂💪🏾 Ps use my driver code when applying for prime Inc on your application:MCKRNE ✅

[@griponreality9716]

You can also find a local Walmart and park behind it as if you're waiting for delivery.. just hide in plain sight.. it helps when nothing is near you and get your shopping done.

[@truckingon5049]

True but it dont work in EVERY case and in Jersey u gotta be real careful how u move

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

If I was in a different state I could even park on the road, lol but jersey not even on the road I saw any spots. I saw on spot and a Landstar truck was parked there. Also some Walmart don’t want tractor and trailer there, only bob tail

[@LifeOfATruckerOTR]

Be careful though bc not all Walmarts will let you part there. Even in the loading area in the back. Depending on the state you are in. Some Walmarts have signs saying g you in a tow away zone. If you not delivering there you can’t be there long extended periods of time. If you shopping you better tell a manager in the store. Shop and leave. Not every Walmart in the country is trucker friendly. Even if you deliver a load there they want you to deliver and leave. So be careful of the Walmarts you park at…make sure they are trucker friendly

[@LifeOfATruckerOTR]

Home Depot is trucker friendly I park there every so often. I would park at a Home Depot before Walmart

Way to go RAsta Man, I'm no trucker, but the shipper played ya. Thigh but dock and paperwork @ guard shack 😮. At least an hour or more wasted. Thanks for the info truckers, I'm ask my wife if i can split my clock. When it's my day too do the chores 😅. Stay Safe, Stay Righteous 🙏. Olu out.

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

I know the shipper played me, but I just didn’t make him any smarter. Also giving me that dock was a set up. There are people out there who like to mess around, but I won’t be the one to accuse them of it, I just act like I don’t know what’s going on. I don’t get upset too easily so it’s hard to test my patience out here. God bless Olu, stay save brother🙏🏾😃

[@daviddhoughton]

Blessings to you brudda *jamaican voice* lol one question though, do you get to pick loads in states you want to go to or do you go where dispatch wants you to go?

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

Anywhere dispatch send yo. Or I think you can request to run the north east, and mid west section m, I am not sure. I go anywhere dispatch send me. Wednesday was in Florida, then they send me to New Jersey, then from Jersey to Utah. I am in Utah now. 💪🏾😃

[@MrRicardoax01]

💯

[@Mrwashington007]

Does the shipper you picked up at allow overnight parking? I know it was during the day but if you asked them could you do your ten hour break there and they had a lot of area where you could park you could of gotten your 10 hrs out the way there. Just a fruit for thought.

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

There were no parking at the shipper. But of if I run into situations like this again I will definitely ask the shipper or receiver if I can take my break there. I think they closed each day that’s why. If it was a 24 hour shipper maybe I could park inside there. Lots of space was at the shipper but no parking. They want me gone 😂

You need to ask for another Dock since your Rookie. Try backing with tandems to rear.

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

Some say it’s easier with the tandems at the back. I was thinking about sliding them back and see if I could get in there, but I just went inside and request a next door.

[@zachk5270]

I would have used PC! Good to see you in high spirits, brother ....

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

I was thinking of if I PC one hour to the rest stop and take a 10 hour break. I would have to come back to pick up the load at 7pm and I would be late. Also if I had pick up the load I don’t think it legal to PC with the load to the truck stop. I would be using pc to advance the load. 😂 I thought about everything and my best bet was to go pick up the load and get out of NJ to PA. But getting load eat up the clock.

A lot of people can’t decide. But you have to do what’s best for you. Lease is percentage pay, company is per mile.

[@markpage533]

You need to turn the load if shipper doesn’t have overnight parking.

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

I am still a rookie and a company driver, I don’t want to be turning loads down right away 😂. But shippers should have overnight parking for drivers. Even if it’s just 5 spots.

[@Kep1804]

Bro, the last clip u showed us, i saw you dont check the box where it says, " will pair SB." You need to check that box and leave it like that, or you won't be able to do split break 🤝🏿

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

I didn’t do a split break, I didn’t know I could spend two hours in the sleeper instead of 8. If I could go back to the situation, I would split break as soon as I back into the dock. Froze the clock for the two hours I was there.

[@Beautiffulme01]

H is-saying it should be checked anyways because sometimes you will do a split and not even plan so just in case have that checked. It won’t hurt will only help you

U cant do anything in reefer at the last minute bro . U will find out live loads and unloads take forever . Every now and then its quick but reefer is a waiting game if u havent noticed when u was with your trainer !

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

Yeah I’ve seen loading take 7 hours before 😂. Because I call ahead and they said it’s ready, and they are not busy I thought things would be quicker than 2 and half hours to load. I should have split break for two hours. I learn I can sleeper birth for two hours. I was thinking it has to be 8 😂😂🤦🏽‍♂️ rookie mistake by me

I thought an hour would be ok to drive 43 miles, but I forget I was in Jersey , that’s not possible, but some how I did it 😂. I should have done a split break I am understanding.

[@RomaneTheTrucker]

That’s what I learned from sharing the story with you guys today. Now if I run into the situation again, I will freeze my clock with a split break. I thought once my clock is counting down, I cannot stop it because there’s not enough hours left in the 14 to split break. But I had it totally wrong. I am happy I ran into the situation and know this now . Big rookie mistake by me. 🤦🏽‍♂️😂
