Are you happy with your current situation?

My pay is great and all but I have am having a baby in December and it was very unexpected. Considering my wife and I both have great and promising careers, we will be just fine.

Good luck with the child. If you need anything, we still have a lot of shiit from our two. Let me know. I'm the only breadwinner in the family, but not having a car note or a house note really is a big stress reliever. I love driving the rig and my job. All i do is drive to Greenville, SC and back to Atlanta Monday thru Friday and that's it. And get paid quite well to do so. I have my little restoration CVCC that I can actually afford to put together. I just hope life can stay this way until..... you know. I know my life will get much more stress-relieved in the next couple of years or so after it takes a turn for the worse, though. Later, QD.

Thanks QD. We actually find out what we are having Wednesday. I am very excited. My life was already slowing down when I met my wife and now it all makes sense. I will deffinetly let you know.

I make my own hours with my job. I am given a list of locations and I just have to have them done by the end of the month. I am given a company take home truck, fuel card, amx and a logding card if I need to stay out of town. Like I said, I make my own hours as long as I don't exeed 60 within a week (fvck DOT) so normally I work 3 to 4 days a week and have a long weekend. I have been off since thursday at 3pm.

60 hours? I'm allowed 70 by the DOT. Later, QD.

Whoa! Hold on a minute. Is it 70 hours just for drivers or 70 hours for everyone including drivers/manual labor? I am a bucket technician so I drive and work outside. I hope its not a company policy bc I would work every bit of 70 hours.

I was always told by my supervisor that I wasn't allowed to exceed 60 hours bc of DOT regulations.

This is my work time allotment:

I can work 14 hours total per day. I can drive for no more than 11 hours in that 14 hour period. Meaning I can have 3 non-driving on duty hours. If I start my log at 13:00, then I can legally stay at work until 03:00. No matter what I do, my 14 hours ticks off. I can take breaks and all during the 14, but I can only drive for 11 of those hours. After my 14 hours are up, I have to take a (at least) 10 hour break.

During my work week, I can work no more than 70 hours in an 8 day period. There is a 60 hour cycle in a 7 day period. So it works off of both. I work on 8 day cycles where you might work a 7 day one.

Do you have 34 hour restarts? Later, QD.

Ok that makes sense bc we are on a 7 day period. Thanks man, now I won't go yell at my boss for screwing me out of hours.
