[QUOTE]Originally posted by Floored: [QB] Well as of Oct 1st you will have new rules about sleep time. You must take 10 hours off duty or in your sleeper, with 8hrs of consecutive rest time. You may only drive a total of 11 hours, with a total of 14 hours of on duty time each day. There are other rules that go along with this, but that’s the basic gist of it. I only run one log book, although I know others who run two at a time, they are the ones driving for 16+ hours a day. It gets tricky to make $$ when your paid by the mile, so many truckers cheat a bit on their time, for example say your going to Fresno and it takes you 4.5 hours due to traffic. Thats money lost, so what many will do is take the milage (169 miles) and divide it by 52 (mph as an average speed) which will give you 3.25 hours for the trip, that is what you would log in your book. Its not legit, but time is money. My last job paid me at 26cpm (cents per mile), this new one will be at 35cpm. To make the living I want I will need to get 3000 miles a week in (If I make less than a grand a week its not worth it to me to be on the road) [/QB][/QUOTE]
