Hey guys,
Just want to make sure I understand the HOS properly, gonna set up an example, as that's how I learn best.
Trucker A takes a load from Toronto to Chicago on June 1st
522 miles, at 60 mph, is just about 9 hours driving, assuming no delays,
On June 2nd, Trucker A drops off the load, and then drives to Joliet to pick up a load on June 3rd.
Joliet - Dallas is 906 miles and takes just over 15 hours, so June 3rd/June 4th are driving, he drops off June 4th pm, he then drives from Dallas to Austin, TX to pick up for June 5th am, 200 miles away, a little over 3 hours.
He picks up a load in Austin to take to St. Louis on June 5th am, which is just under 14 hours and 800 miles away, he has to drop the load by end of day June 7th to be legal?
If so, he would then need a 34 hour restart to drive correct?
And yes, I know the stars would have to be aligned perfectly to get loads that evenly spaced out, I am just testing my knowledge of the HOS.
Thanks
