What does a typical WEEKLY schedule look like for a new driver?
The info I'm finding online seems contradictory in that on one hand it's a job with very minimal free time and 70 hour weeks, but on the other you can only drive 11 hours before taking 10 hours off. Does this mean it's a 21 hour day and your sleep schedule is slowly rotating, or do you get to wake up at the same time every day (at least for a few days)?
If you do wake up at the same time, 11 hours per day is only like 6.5 days until you reach your 8 day 70 mile limit. Are you just chilling for a day and THEN starting your 34 hour reset?
Bonus: Are you basically expected to reach your legal limit every week? I don't mind working hard but value my free time and wouldn't mind getting paid a little less to grab some.
This is a lot of questions, I'll break it into multiple posts if that's better.
