“You just can’t make money running legal!”
How often have you heard this or maybe you’ve even said it yourself?
I personally think this is not only possible but it is essential for the survival of the OTR driver in today’s market.
The key is ‘Trip Planning’ and ‘Time Management’, the more efficient a driver is the more money he can make. Taking the time to learn the rules and how to apply them will help you maximize your drive time within the Hours of Service limits. After all, most drivers are paid by the mile aren’t they?
Like it or not, the new FMCSA regulations are staying and commercial Over The Road Drivers are going to have to live and work with these changes.
