Actually, if you run your butt off, never stop to load or unload, fueled when you did a PTI, and averaged 62 mph:
Monday: PTI FROM 12:00 - 12:15 DRIVING 12:15 - 11:15 am PTI 11:15 - 11:30 SLEEPER BERTH 11:30 - 9:30 PTI 9:30 - 9:45 DRIVE 9:45 - 12:00 TOTAL ON DUTY TIME: 14 HOURS TOTAL DRIVING TIME: 13.25 HOURS TUESDAY: DRIVE 12:00 - 8:30 PTI 8:30 - 8:45 SLEEPER BERTH 8:45 - 6:45 PTI 6:45 - 7:00 DRIVE 7:00 - 12:00 TOTAL ON DUTY TIME: 14 HOURS TOTAL DRIVING TIME: 13.5 HOURS WEDNESDAY: DRIVE 12:00 - 5:00 PTI 5:00 - 5:15 SLEEPER BERTH 5:15 - 3:15 PTI 3:15 - 3:30 DRIVE 3:30 - 12:00 TOTAL ON DUTY TIME: 14 HOURS TOTAL DRIVING TIME: 13.5 HOURS THURSDAY: DRIVE 12:00 - 2:30 PTI 2:30 - 2:45 SLEEPER BERTH 2:45 - 12:45 PTI 12:45 - 1:00 DRIVE 1:00 - 12:00 TOTAL ON DUTY TIME: 14 HOURS TOTAL DRIVING TIME: 13.5 HOURS FRIDAY: PTI 12:00 - 12:15 SLEEPER BERTH 12:15 - 10:15 PTI 10:15 - 10:30 DRIVE 10:30 - 9:30 PTI 9:30 - 9:45 SLEEPER BERTH 9:45 - 12:00 TOTAL ON DUTY TIME: 11.75 HOURS TOTAL DRIVING TIME: 11 HOURS SATURDAY: SLEEPER BERTH 12:00 - 7:45 PTI 7:45 - 8:00 DRIVE 8:00 - 10:00 PTI 10:00 - 10:15 BEGIN 34 HOUR RESET TOTAL ON DUTY TIME: 2.5 HOURS TOTAL DRIVING TIME: 2 HOURS SUNDAY: PTI: 8:15 PM - 8:30 DRIVE 8:30 - 12:00 TOTAL ON DUTY TIME: 3.75 HOURS TOTAL DRIVING TIME: 3.5 HOURS TOTAL ON DUTY TIME FOR PAST 7 DAYS: 74 HOURS TOTAL DRIVING TIME FOR PAST 7 DAYS: 70.25 HOURS 70.25 HOURS x 62 MPH = 4355.5 MILES x 0.40 PER MILE = $1742.20 Now good luck finding a carrier who doesn't want you to load or unload, but rather just drive around.:rofl:

How Long Do You Have To Show For a Pre Trip
I'm curious, by FMSCA standards how long do you have to show for a pre trip.. is it 15 or 30?? I've always been taught since school to show 30 mins

The FMCSA does not designate a set period of time that must be shown. You need to show however long it takes you. If it doesn't take you 30 minutes, then there is no reason to show 30 minutes, unless it is company policy (even though it is still log falsification). If it takes you 30 minutes, and you show 15, that's log falsification too.

Correct. If it doesn't take you 30 minutes, then there is no reason to show 30 minutes, Correct. unless it is company policy (even though it is still log falsification). Incorrect. And I don't feel like quoting the reg. You should KNOW better. :moon::lol2:

Please tell me you are kidding. If you log 30 minutes for something that took only 15 minutes, that is log falsification. If you log 15 minutes for something that took 30 minutes, it is log falsification. Either quote the reg or STFU. But irregardless, leave your personal attacks on other members out of this thread. Especially since those members haven't posted in this thread.

Especially since those members haven't posted in this thread. Part 395: Hours of service of drivers*
NOTE: Driver’s record of duty status. The graph grid, when incorporated as part of any form used by a motor carrier, must be of sufficient size to be legible.
The following executed specimen grid illustrates how a driver’s duty status should be recorded for a trip from Richmond, Virginia, to Newark, New Jersey. The grid reflects the midnight to midnight 24 hour period.  Graph Grid (midnight to midnight operation). NOTE:The driver in this instance reported for duty at the motor carrier’s terminal. The driver reported for work at 6 a.m., helped load, checked with dispatch, made a pretrip inspection, and performed other duties until 7:30 a.m. when the driver began driving. I don't feel like finding and quoting the reg that says that a COMPANY can make policies that exceed FMCSA rules. If a COMPANY wants you to log 30 minutes for a PTI (and related activities) on line 4 before going to line 3 and beginning to drive, the FMCSA has NO PROBLEM with that! Now YOU can STFU!!! BTW.... there is no such word as IRregardless! And please do tell me how saying that Mythbuster's replies are often "nonresponsive," as MANY here have agreed they are, is a personal attack on him. And, I guess the fact that you permabanned SteveBooth makes it okay for you to launch your continued "personal attacks" on HIM! (Again, I don't feel like finding the threads/posts and quoting them.... but, you KNOW you have done so!) Now, I don't care about how you moderate this board. And I won't question how you do it [because I CAN'T!] But, just man to man.... I'm telling you that you need to get that stick out of your butt! It's getting in the way of me putting my foot up there!  Now, you can call that a personal attack, or a "physical threat" if you want to.... but, we all know it is NOT. This is just the INTERNET, Rev! You can do a FINE job of moderating here, if you'll just look up the root word "moderate." [Actually, it is MODE, which brings up a whole new set of questions.] And, before you ban me, I just want to say that I take offense to you telling me to STFU! I have a RIGHT to say "most" things that I want to here, as long as they don't break the TOS, and I don't even let members of my FAMILY tell me to shut up! This post, and/or ME, will probably disappear in 3-2-1....

The "old days" of fights between me and the poster we USED to know as the REV are basically gone and over! He has "unilateraly" disarmed ME (and others) while simultaneously increasing his nuclear stockpile. Bury my heart at Wounded Knee! I am forced to bring ONLY a knife to a GUNFIGHT. :lol2: George Bush is dead! Long live Napoleon!

I DOUBT it, Mackman. Rev is obviously driving his 50 miles per day right now, and hasn't seen this yet.
