@@nightrunner1456 not at first, everything is seniority and you have to work your way up to the better routes or runs. I did 12 hour shifts 5 days a week. I worked local doing pickups at big accounts. Ran around the LA basin and all of southern Calif. Then I went cross country for about 11 years. I ran L.A. to Dallas twice a week, or Chicago or Greensboro etc. Then I ran L.A to Vegas and back every night etc. When you first start out you mostly run trailers into the piggy back yards, all night long and that gets boring.

My husband turned on the interior light and proceeded to pull down his shirt, showing some shoulder. He had long hair and a fair face. The guy in the truck smiled at him. We had a good laugh with that one. Mostly because we weren't sure if the trucker thought he WAS a woman or a man! Fun times back then.

@@dons8122 Hey, now. I never said not to bother with the 2 hours, thank you very much. In fact, I seem to recall mentioning precisely WHY that extra 2 hours is necessary. That being said, my original comment is outdated and no longer accurate, what with the new 7/3 rule replacing the old 8/2 rule. Now that both breaks stop the clock, it really doesn't matter what order you take them in, whereas I always used to advocate for taking the 2 hr and THEN the 8 hr for the simple fact that the 8 stopped your 14 while the 2 didn't. E: BTW, I didn't just "try" to pull off my 8/2 splits...

"How often does Mount Shasta erupt? On average, Mount Shasta has erupted at least once every 800 years during the last 10,000 years, and about once every 600 years during the last 4,500 years. The last known eruption occurred about 200 years ago, possibly in 1786. Eruptions during the last 10,000 years produced lava flows and domes on and around the flanks of Mount Shasta. Pyroclastic flows from summit and flank vents extended as far as 20 km (12.4 mi) from the summit. Most of these eruptions also produced large mudflows, many of which travelled several tens of kilometers from Mount Shasta. Learn more at the website for the USGS California Volcano Observatory."

Waneta, Shotgun is right, definitely best time to take that trip is in Spring/early Summer. In the Been There Done That Dept. I can also testify there are 3 seasons in that part of the world, snow, green and brown. Criss crossing mountain ranges too. Pretty drive but stay alert. Uuuuuuup hill and doooooowwn dale and curves watch out, occasionally people have lost their brakes. That's why they have those safety ramps oof side right on the down slopes and signs saying brake check area. Some of the rest areas in the Summer on I 5 they serve courtesy coffee and snacks, usually some group volunteers like a church, Rotary Club whatever. Mt Shasta area if you can, linger and explore. Dunsmiur is a cute little railroad town that makes a scenic last stop in NorCal, Shasta City stop at the Piedmont Italian Restaurant or this new Chinese place for Dinner. I used to live in McCloud, McCloud High School, all my teachers down there were great. The only zombie of all of them was oddly enough was the drama instructor. Hold off if you can until Medford and eat at Witham's Truck Stop. You often get more professional friendly service there. Grants Pass has some more good eateries. Easy on and off highway access too. Overnight? Generally Ashland or Grants Pass, Eugene considering smaller places. Haven't been to Cottage Grove or Roseburg for a long time, used to be nothing to write home about. Years ago stopped some place in Roseburg and god, they were rude! Almost half of the menu items were out and the person taking my order, finally Not, kept interrupting me with the traditional "Sorry we can't help you" routine before I finished a sentence. A couple other customers were getting the same treatment. All three of us decided to stop a little bit north for a bit more brain power and real service. Hope the people down there have gotten more mature since then. Down around those parts, there is the Umpqua River, Diamond Lake, and Crater Lake. From late Summer on some places turn brown and dry on the I 5 corridor. Always had to check for fire restrictions of course. From below Portland up to Puget Sound area it generally stays green because staying more westerly in the mountains. SoCal and So Oregon drier because I 5 goes leeward from the mountain ranges. C'mon out and enjoy the trip when you get the chance. Many truckers and tourists enjoy this route and coast or desert can be easily reached on the horizontal highways. Get out your Navigator function and check out places and attraction. Bon voyage to You and Yours.

The red truck is 'drafting'. The truck in front breaks the air and the flow goes over both. He is saving fuel but that is very tricky if the first truck has to stop or slow quickly. The second truck might panic or run into the other. Done in race cars.

Martin Eastburn, For sure, For sure, I agree, fine for racing, not for highways. I just drive nice 4 wheelers and have had occasional "Klingons". Nervous making...wr have all had our pet names for them, Klingons, morons, crispy critters...

If they are on a hill hes not drafting on purpose hes just keeping his speed up and knows he doesn't have the power to get around

you get your 11hrs back after you take you 10 off. You do not get your hours back right after midnight unless your 10hrs was up before or right at midnight. I use to play one hell of a Log Book game with the DOT's on the west coast. The part that sucked was that Oregon and Washington Weigh in Motion scales talk to one another and those Cameras are on 24/7 and they read your plates. Only time in 20 years of driving i got caught with a bad log page was when i ran my last 4th of July run i forgot to put what time i was off duty and winged it after 3 days off. and got caught in Oregon in P.O.E NB.

Pretty view! Thanks for pointing out the highlights & giving some of us an idea of a trucker’s job. Thanks to all keeping our goods rolling. Stay safe.

They should have a special fishing license for OTR CDL Drivers. It only makes sense. Say $200.00 for the lower 48. Wouldn't that be cool. Get your digital Trout stamp at an extra cost. Done for the year. I'm with that.

Ody Slim it sounds reasonable but each state has it's own needs and it might not be enough to meet the budget but one would think it shouldn't be an issue
@dons81224 жыл бұрын
In reality unless you are coming up on your 10hrs off it be a waste of money. We just don't really have the time for that. Not saying it wouldn't be nice like if we are doing a 34hr restart out in the middle of nowhere.

Theillegalalienfool: So David Maruska must have hit a nerve. I was born and raised in California, couldn't wait to get out when I retired. David is absolutely right. CA should be separated from the rest of the US and allowed to sink into the ocean. That's the only thing that could clean up the cesspool that CA has become.

you still get 11 hrs in 24 driving or has that changed
@dons81224 жыл бұрын
11 hr of drive 14 hrs total on duty and a full restart after 34hrs but each day (unless it is changed now) you have to take 30 mins off with in 8hr which is easy to do when you stop to pick up fuel and get something to eat so that rule never has bothered me. I retired from long haul 10 years ago been doing short haul ever since so I don't need no log book anymore lol.
