Great night for sleeping. Temps down in low 50's.
Love the feeling of fall in the air.
Mostly for grins and giggles (and a little more practice), I've been logging my trip since I left Laredo following HOS rules. I do this from time to time. Always, debating on making a switch.
Things I like/dislike:
Nice to know when your day will end. And you get a 10 hr break. Seems easier with a cap on 11 hrs of driving. But if I was a busy long hauler, pretty much just enough time to sleep and drive.
So I don't envy the truckers who do this.
The 30min mandatory break is nice, but pretty stupid and inconvenient. Especially, if you plan to use that time to make something to eat during it. Just enough time to cram something down after parking/bathroom. Normally, will lose 20-30 mins at a stop anyways depending on how busy they are, so seems rather pointless. Only possible benefit I can figure is if a carrier has you on a tight schedule, at least you can stop for 30 mins. (Wow, a whole 30 mins). But unless, schedules have really tightened up since I last drove semi, this was never a issue anyways. Refering to general freight delivery. Maybe I'll have some time to watch some TV on my reset lol.
Well, my break is over, better get moving before my pretend dispatch calls to see why I'm not

I recognize the house & truck, but, your tour didn't show the OutHouse? Also, I thought you lived in the country, you turned right off the street to your house, practically looks downtown!
I haven't heard that one. But I know the new reset hour times was put on hold. At least I think, I only dabble in this
At the receiver in St. Clair MI, unload in morning then drive 13 miles to the house
