Okay... that is ALMOST a full answer. We STILL need more info. I asked for your start and stop points, you told me PART of it is through Oregon. I don't know if you're coming from CALI (55 mph) or Washington (65 mph.)
Where do you start. Where do you deliver? How much time before the return trip? Do you go right back out again? When is this 24-36 hour break?
If driving team, you could take 24 hours off between runs and the guy NOT driving IN will get a 34 hour reset. See what I mean?
I suspect that the speed limits will let you EACH do one full trip one way. If so, you could do this ad infinitum if you get 24 hours after EACH round trip.
IF you only want to drive 8 hours each, ONE of you will be on duty during the drop, and the OTHER will have to drive the last little bit IN to the yard. THEN, the turnaround time is important, as well as whether or not you can log off duty while waiting to go back out.
I realize it sounds like a lot to ask of you, since you don't realize yet all the varying ways to do this.... but it's not a difficult question.
Where do you start, where do you drop (drop and hook? or 3 hour power load/unload?) where do you return to. How soon before you do it all again?
We are all here to HELP! But, we can't read your mind. Please give more info (as if you were trip planning) so WE can help you "trip plan."
