Thank you for sharing all that knowledge...it’s just awesome!!!! Be blessed

As a noobie going through orientation I can stress how much I appreciate your vlogging. You are a lifesaver ❤

I am a new driver at 57 with Werner now and going solo this week and boy am I nervous. When I was Team Driving with my trainer, I was driving at 3 am and past and falling asleep and I was like what am I doing forget this. I wanna work normal hours not crazy hours.

Thank you! I now have a better understanding of the clocks! When our instructor in class was explaining it, I was wondering how to kept up with the passed 7 days, after seeing it, it all makes sense now! Again, Thank you!

Really needed this! Was dump trucking for 2 years. Now in 18W and was like wait why am I constantly loosing time!? Even tho I knew I was doing things right. This explained it really good. Thank you family because I was getting nervous because I didn’t want to get in any type of trouble! ❤️🙏🏽

Man I’m glad I watch this video it help me big time now thanks so much

I've been watching your videos for about 6 months now. During that 6 months, I've made a career change after 29 years of factory work, I am now a CDL Class A license holder with all 3 endorsements as well. I passed my state exam 2 weeks ago, I officially start my first truck driving job in 3 days. I got really lucky, found a smaller company based 22 miles from my home, they run about 3 dozen trucks, the owner still drives occasionally, family oriented business, everybody knows everybody by name. I'll be out from Sunday night till Friday afternoon/evening, routes to Minnestota, Alabama, Florida, Dallas, Denver, North Carolina and more. This is one of the most informative videos I've found on the DOT clocks and clock management and I'm going to be learning the hard way on my own as my driver trainer gets home every night I will not be doing overnights until I'm on my own. So videos like this are really gonna be helpful to me. Can't say enough how much I appreciate the work you two are doing to help us new drivers out. Thank you!

Thank you so much for breaking this down! I’m new will be on my own next week and I don’t want to drive late nights! So glad i found your channel! New subscriber

Great video - very informative. Answered a lot of questions I had. Thanks!

Thank you good information

This is outstanding. Thank you so much.

Thanks guys for explaining this, I’m just getting started using these things and was confused.

Thanks this was really helpful!

I needed this video thank you

Great information thank you!

Thanks great video well needed

Thank you !very valuable information!!!

Great video, I was interested in learning about the time stuff.

Thanks for explaining the hours system and in training right now a d i was so confused about it but great video 👍

Fuel islands. Your clock might reset in 3 minutes, but someone else's might be about to run out in 2 minutes. Get your fuel, put it in neutral, let the other guy push you if that's what it takes to reset your clock.

Awesome thanks

Hey Kevin have I bet you would make a great instructer for new drivers .

Thanks!

Thanks for the helpful tips on the ELD VS reality. If I pass my DOT physical I may be enrolled into a CDL School by March or April 2222. In the meantime, I have been driving my ATS truck sym PC game up to midnight,2 or 3am. It looks like I have to make a "slight change" of lifestyle to attend the school at (8am to 4pm), and if I graduate, and apply where my friend works I could be getting up at from midnight to 3:00 a.m.)

The 70 hour clock is for 8 days not 7 days. You can drive without a reset if you drive 8.5- 8.75 hrs a day. 70 divided by 8 days is 8.75. since you get back the hours from the 8th day, you will always get back about 8.75 as that is what you ran each day. would like to connect with you folks and give you some hints and tips to help you out. Let me know how best to contact you.

Good Info. Thanks

Nice tips

thanx sir for good information

Thanks for clarifying that was real informative ,….straight and to the point. 👍🏽

Even if it goes into personal convenience and that accidentally kicks you into driving, it can be fixed easily. IDE use PC whenever you want.

I did I hope when I come in to Werner I have someone teach me thank you for your patience 🤟🏼🥰🙌🏼

You're beautiful people ❤ very easy to understand the way you guys explained HOS in this vid.

Its a shame you don't get taught this in school or by the trainer/mentor. would save new drivers a lot of headaches and frustration.................. great job guys.

Darn good info

This dude is really caught up in the Matrix,

New driver here, So today i experienced the 14hr clock run out due to yard monouvers lpokomg for my loaded trailer etc.. Whilst i had 4 hours of drive time left.. Your video has helped me to understand how it works now thank you 😊 Question, To avoid that happening i should of went on off duty mode ??

Keep trucking is the best ELD on the market.

I’m about to join the Werner Lowes account. When I arrive at lowes, should I switch to on duty or off duty when they unload the trailer? It takes 2-3 hours to unload. Great videos by the way.

I was following you for the most pat but How would the 14 hr clock split?

When you doing an 8/2 how does the on duty off duty and stuff work . Is it the same. Or a little different.

Good info here. Always struggled getting my head around running on re cap hrs.. 🧐 Curious, does Werner require you to log fueling time? I’ve worked for companies that had fuel card usage linked to your DOT hos e log, requiring logging of fueling time as on duty, not driving. Thanks! 👍

HOS are simple today. Your elog keeps up with it. Believe it or not, just a few years ago we had to do it on paper. And many trck drivers can't even add correctly. :)

If I understood you well, you go off duty during loading/unloading to save a 70-hour clock. I think that it's not allowed to be off duty status during loading or unloading, fulling, scale...

My man's first day, yesterday. We are so frusterated with the clocks. We've been sitting here at Loves since 5Am. Basically wasted a day away not able to move. Hopefully it gets better.

What ELD app are you using, Kevin? Great video, by the way. Thanks!

Our days get very long in the winter time running the northeast roads get really bad. Sometimes you have to pull over after you run out of hours get a hotel room which they provide the credit card and the fuel card. We’re supposed to be home every day sometimes a figure out these runs the routing department and they really stretch you thin. I’m sure not everybody does it certain companies are pretty brutal to work for a lot of them are pretty relaxed.

I just screwed my clock and I'm here now

Been running on recaps this time out..much less stress and more time between driving, but loads seem to have less miles even though my 70 stays around 10 daily..just hate sitting for 34

I’m not gonna lie, I’m past the statute of limitations. I came into it running two log books sometimes just to be on time. This really puts the company in check to make them let you take your breaks and actual bunk time.

With personal conveyance, the way people screw that up is when your truck turns off, it takes you off of personal conveyance. So say you contact your company get permission to go on PC, you put yourself in PC then drive to Walmart. You stop park your truck & turn it off. When you get back in your truck, as soon as you turn that truck on put yourself back into PC. Everytime the truck turns off it takes you off PC.

I made it almost 3 weeks before my reset somehow lol. I always save my clock even if I don't drive it all out then my 70 won't run out as fast then I run on recaps

can u make another video breaking down the main basics of the tablet

Don't you have to be on duty to log fueling? So how do you take the 30 min break while fueling?

I’m going to Orientation in a couple weeks and I’ll be on Best Buy account getting me home every week. How do I plan so I can make sure im home every weekend?

Can you do a tutorial sliding 5th from all the way forward all the way back where the weight goes trailer all the way forward all the way back where the weight goes how much weight can be distributed

What about switching drivers when you are almost done for the day out of time?

I still don’t understand the 30 minute break thing. I was told Yard Move, drop and hook etc (on duty, but not driving) would count towards the 30 minute dot. However I tried to once and it didn’t work 😐

At your stop you can go into yard move which saves you drive time but on duty deducts.

Well explained. Why does FMCSA make it so complicated?

E logs didn’t make the roads safer, sorry to say it but they made it worse because no matter how well you can manage that e log you can still feel that pressure from having to be in a time crunch against that computer. My dad drove for 30 yrs between 1950 and 1980 4+ million safe miles. He even stated that “Those dammed e-log gadgets you have to you make it more unsafe for you.” Kinda hard to argue with a man with that kind of experience.

The rule should be 84 hours in an 8 day period for a team (edited to add: 84 hours per driver, not per team. 168 hours per team.). That would allow the team to run non-stop and still forces them to take a day off after 7 days. Back when I drove teams we would run non-stop for 3 months straight, then take a weekend in the yard before heading back out... LOL I hate to think how much money we made for the company, at 7000 to 8000 miles per week.

The tablet is my boss.

Were you in Ohio this morning? I could have sworn I saw you pass by me today in your Crete Truck.

Sorry i didn’t understand this part, if shipper/receiver is taking more than 2 of your hours, can you put your eld in “off duty” status? But then your left over hours would end very late at night, correct?

👍

Yes far as the 30 minute break what is the best time to stop within 8 hours so you don't have to take another break

9 hours a day is the max you (should) work . Work more (when necessary) or take weekends off

so I can start my day at 4-5 every morning and finish by 2-3pm every day and be in sleeper berth until 4-5 the next morning if the delivery times allow it without being fired?

🙋🏽‍♂️ QUICK QUESTION: I’m just a part time route delivery driver and my question is: if I am understanding you correctly. Do I press on duty before I begin my route, and press off duty when I complete my route to log the miles in for that day? On Duty before Off Duty when completed… Right? then logout?

We push it all the time it isn’t for making my living. It’s the runs that were assigned. It’s just the way it is it’s trucking. Oh, there’s all kinds of games you can play split sleeper berth play it right so you don’t have to have a 34 hour restart. It’s all a big game.

why does my 8 hour clock stop while I am still on duty? I usually take my 30 while unloading and have not run into any issues

Do drivers get a mandatory paid lunch 30 min ? Work for a garbage company was getting 30 min paid lunch volunteered to work same company out of state site ,,,not getting paid lunch,,,,working just under 70 hrs per week 6 days ...off 2pm Saturday back 6am Monday is that legal also😅

Although I never cheated when they started this It made me crazy .

what app do you guys use?

Hi Kevin and Tanja. I'm from Denmark who has something like you hour counts. we have to drive 4.5 hours, have to last 45 min, have to drive 4.5 and have to last 10 hours, and then there is one time in a week that has to be exceeded. and others to . together, our registers also speed since trucks, they are only allowed to drive 80 km per hour. car can, however, it can drive approx. 90 to 95 km per hour. the police can look at a card we have in a machine that records speed, drive to read time and rest time so the aim of my question is: if you don't stick to the hours you have to and the hours you have to take a break, what is the fine/punishment. and how long those who control it can go back. with us there, they can go back the whole 365 days and give a certificate and also take your driving card/ driving licence. greetings Knud from Denmark

Why does the 14 hr clock go negative on sleeper birth?

Pretty sure you are suppose to be logging on-duty time while waiting to be loaded/unloaded, fueling, or anything else related to performing work.

R u guys from Canada or up north such sweet couple

Does Werner pay dention?

I thought when your at a shipper loading or unloading you have to stay on duty?

I run alot ag exempt and can run legal with no clock indefinitely if you dou your break before 5 hrs you have to take 2. Driving at night is the best time to go for many reasons Not true you never have to do a 34 ever thre is such a thing called a recap

If i work ten hours a day, can i still get a 10 hour reset?

We are providing outsource ELD service 24/7

Some drivers go off duty when loading/unloading and securing! So it’s easy to work and be tired was over the 14/11 clock! SMH

So can you only do 11 hour drive time? You can't do 14 hour drive time?

? So the only way I can Stop the 70 hour clock is by Going off Duty?

Is Werner making u do the videos

I drive under 150 mile I'm a local drive but still have to take a 34 hour time off to reset 70 .I only work 57 hours a week .Bunch of BS .

You CAN work longer than 14 hours in a day and you CAN work more than 70 hours in a week, you CANNOT DRIVE after those times until you have the 10 hour rest per day (providing you have hours left on your 70 hour clock) and if you go past 70 hours, you need to take a 34 hour reset before you can drive again, the clocks are there to stop you from driving when you are out of time, not working, if you do work and get paid during your 34 hour reset you need to make sure you have a 34 hour break before you can drive again, even if you have a weekend job that has nothing to do with driving, it all counts against your 70 hours.

What if you have a pick up at 7 pm

Wait do I understand you right, you can go off duty to extend your 70 hour clock?

I thought you could not use your 30 minute break for fueling

your videos are great they would be even better if you could mute your partner from always butting in.no offence miss tanya i like hearing from you too .You guys are great

30 mins is off duty?

Couldn’t see a thing on that device

I max my 70hr clock out every week on purpose. I'm not working 7 days a week. No thank you lol.

All ELD ARE DESIGN TO CONFUSED DRIVERS as a driver I WANT TO DESIGN MY OWN APP

You mean 10 hours to work, left? 8-12=4... 3 hrs off. U messed that up

Must be crazy working with your lady. 😂😂 but anyway….

Its ALWAYS under the guise of "safety"! Rules are ment to RULE. I guess some people have no issue with telling them what's "mandatory" and what isnt. Welcome to commerce...Maritime Admiralty....the modern control of the "vessels" dating back to Merchant ships "permitted" by the King. Sry for the rant....I'm just not a subject to some master. We are all equal...including the black robe judge (mourning justice)....the clown pirate enforcers, always demanding to stand under (understand) their self-percieved fictional authority.
