Some where on here is my lengthy report on Prime's Trucking School. Come December 5th I may be starting another report, this time on Interstate Distributing based out of Tacoma Washington. Before I head out there though, I want to know if anything has changed sense the summer of 2014? Is the 8/2 split sleep birth still ok? Is the 14 clock still likely to bite me in the butt? Sense I've been local these past two years, I haven't had to consider things like the 34 hour reset.

Interstate:

Commercial trade, business, movement of goods or money, or transportation from one state to another, regulated by the Federal Department Of Transportation (DOT).

Were you driving when the 2x 1-5 AM rule for 34's was in place? It's been suspended for now. I don't think anything has changed with the 8/2 split in the last couple years.

The 14 can definitely bite you in the butt if you aren't careful :)

The top of the map is North.

The voice in the GPS is Jane, you can't properly chew her out if you do not know her name.
