FedEx Freight | no runs over 500 mi round trip

[SuperCourse]

We/I never had cruise control in a unit, only a handle with a red knob you pulled out until you reached the desired speed. Just don't fall asleep.

I had a gouging stick, does that count?

this whole notion is foolish. Here is an example. Clt(charlotte nc) has been running into crw (charleston wv) ever since crw started a hub operation many many years ago in the af days, in smurfs at that, over mountains, and in the winter. All this under the 10 hour rule as it was back then. 284 miles each way. A bit more than 500 miles i think. We could find these examples all over the place.

exactly! Kcy ran a like 7-10 laydown bids into den & vice versa back in the af days during the 10hr rule.

We did KCY to DEN back in the AF days with trucks that were governed at 62, which was higher than the rest of the fleet which was still set at 59mph.

No truth to this thread, look it up. 11 hrs still stands.

 

[truckingBORED]

Yup, long runs are still on the books. (If Obama's train can't pull it yet.)

 

[Sall back]

We got a whole bunch of 650 mile runs where I'm at.

Yuk!............

They didn't eliminate any of our runs, they just put us ALL on the extra board.

...and again clt was running a pm layover to mem under the what use to be the 10hr rule....not sure if they still do now.

Yes there is a lot of B/S on here at times but I guess you have not been driving very long if you don't know that the max driving rule used to be 10 hours. Then 8 off or sleeper and 15 max on duty. You could also split the sleeper time and there was no 34 hour reset. Really no B/S here. "Happy Trails"

when you were allowed 10hrs for drive time back in the day under the old hours of service rule chief.

I think if all you doofi were to start at the beginning of this thread, it might be about a possible reinstatement of the 10 hour rule. Just a guess based on the date this thread started.
