Ok, what is so important about 34 HR break? If I take a full 34 hrs off in a row, I get to restart my log book hours at 0! That means I have 70 fresh hours to run!
The best thing about my latest 34hr break is that I got to take it at home! I delivered a load to Harrisonville, MO Sunday night, and got to come home for the break. I did have to push my log book Sunday to make it here for that break, but I wasn't going to be denied!
Sunday I drove over 800 miles to get home, and legally the most I can log in a day is about 730. That is if all states I run through would allow me to drive 70mph or faster, otherwise that total goes down. The load I delivered came from Pennington, AL and I was told it was only about 682 mile drive. Well, there was no route that could get me there in that short of miles, but because they said it could be done in 682 miles, that's what I showed on the log book. Just a little fudging, but hey, you do what you got to do in order to spend some time with the one's you love!
Sadly, my break is now up, and I'm about to take out on another adventure, picking up my next load in St. Joseph, MO and Delivering to Jenks, OK. I plan on being back home for the weekend, but $$$ will decide if that gets to hapen or not...
