Logbook knowledge from a truck driver that’s been driving food for thought anybody could leave a comment
A drivers daily work A driver could work 14 hours in the day. The driver does 11 hours of driving and he takes a 30 minute break. That leaves the shipper 1 hour to load that driver and it leaves the receiver 1 hour to unload him correct stay with me. The driver drives at (60 miles an hour for 5 hours that gives him 300 miles) that he drove. the driver does an (average mile) that’s 10 miles off of that 60 which it leaves (50 miles an hour For 6 hours of driving that leaves him with 300 miles) The driver drove (600 miles in that day and the driver did 11 hours of driving) here’s the calculation. 60x5=300 there’s the first question now 50x6=300 there is the second question now so you can see the results (300+300=600) now comes the results on the hours 60x5+50x6 (5+6=11) how many hours a driver could drive in the day. now that 50 miles an hour for 6 hours “why it stays” at 50 miles at 6 hours that takes care of (“traffic jams”. “ It takes care of accidents”. “It takes care of road conditions & construction”. and also all the (up mountains and down mountains) that the driver has to drive that will always stay the same. 50x6=300. The only one that changes is the (60 miles an hour at 5 hours).(“The driver could be doing 65 miles an hour at 5 hours”).(“That driver could also be doing 70 miles an hour at 5hours”). That’s the only one that changes all the time this is from a truck driver’s experience on the road
