Trip Planning
1. Determine the Clock hours require for you to complete the trip.
2. Determine the hours required for breaks and on duty time to complete the trip.
3. Determine your available hours from your recap coming back to you, is it’s
enough to complete the trip.
Summary of hours of days required to complete trip: CLOCK HOURS
07/05/13 =13hrs, 07/06/13=24, 07/07/13=24, 07/08/13=24hrs,
07/09/13=7, all equal to 92 CLOCK Hours to complete trip. This includes breaks.
Summary of any driver’s hours: ANY DRIVER HOURS:
The trip takes 33.2 driving hours to complete: Miles to be driven 1660/50MPH= 33.2
so you round up to 34hrs.
Summary of hours coming back to you from 8 day recap: YOUR HOURS
Today's hrs=4.4hrs left, 07/06/13=9, 07/07/13=10, 07/08/13=8, 07/09/13=9, all
equal to 40.4hours of driving hours available.
You are at Plainview, TX Wal-Mart finished with off load it’s 11:00AM, you still have
4hrs & 40mins. of driving time left on your 11hr clock and 7.5hrs on your 14hr clock,
can you make the trip? What do you do right now?
You have
3 hours
and 48
mins. to
drive on
07/05/13.
Based on the hours
listed on your 8-Day
tab, you have:
9 HOURS for 07/06/13
10 HOURS for 07/07/13
8 HOURS for 07/08/13
9 HOURS for 07/09/13
This is probably your route for the trip to Lancaster, NY. from Plainville, TX.
It won’t be cast in to stone until your fuel and route solution macro drop down
comes up.
But this is where you start to answer your Pre trip Macro.
You are finished at Wal-Mart around 13:00PMCT in Plainview, TX. You decide
that you still have time to drive to Amarillo, TX on 07/05/13 so you take your
30 minute break before you start driving to Amarillo, which would take about
1.5 hrs you arrive at 15:00PMCT this is also where you fuel and wash out the
trailer. You finish at 16:00PMCT and you drive for a little over an hour back to
Cactus, TX where you’ll start your 10 hour break for the day at 17:30PMCT,
your 10 hour break is up at 3:30AMCT. Your PU is at 4:30AMCT on (07/06/13).
You start driving at 5:30AMCT after you picked up your load . You have gained back
9 hours from your recap for the 6th and your trip plan says you will be stopping in
Emporia, KS. for your 10 hour break.
You get into Emporia around 15:30PMCT, you start your break. Your break is over
at 1:30AMCT. You begin driving at 2:00AMCT for your next scheduled break.
You have just gained your 9 hours at midnight. In your trip plan your next
stop for a 10hr break is in Greenville, IL at Love’s Travel Center. So you drive
for 9hrs at 11:30AMCT you arrive at Greenville, IL which is 450 miles from
Emporia, KS. This leaves about 750 miles to go and two days to get there.
You go OFF DUTY at 11:30AMCT, your 10hr break is up at 21:30PMCT, at
midnight you will gain back 10hrs for 07/08/13.
You start driving at 12:01AMCT for your next planned stop is in
Burbank, OH 500 miles later you arrive at 11:30AMET, you go OFF
DUTY at 24:00PMET. Your 10 hour break will be complete at
22:00PMET.
Can you drive? On 07/09/13 you have 8
hours coming back to you at midnight
there is still 250 miles to go. Are you
going to make your on time delivery?

Use your Motor Carriers’
Road Atlas to verify that
the routing is the best
way to go to make
on-time delivery.
If the route solution you receive does
not make sense, contact your Driver
Manager to help determine a solution
that does make sense.
If you prefer to use a shorter route than
the one suggested by the system,
advise your Driver Manager and more
than likely they can create a fuel
solution based on the route you will use.
Drivers must maintain a
minimum of 75% compliance
with the FUEL STOPS.

This information completes
your daily logs. You must
enter in the information
when you are loaded and
have your Bills of Lading.
JBS Carriers’ policy is to
keep your trailer
padlocked loaded or
empty.
Set your trailer tandems for the state with
the shortest length that you will be traveling
through. Your Motor Carrier Road Atlas
and your Driver Manual have tables for all
of the state requirements.
SCALE YOUR LOAD!
The closest CAT scales from the
Cactus plant are in Dumas, TX 13
miles south, or Guymon, OK 53
miles north on US 54…
TRIP PLAN
After determining your weight is legal on all axles, begin your trip to your stop in
Lancaster. You have roughly 9 hours left to drive for the day, so you need to PLAN
where you will stop at the end of your drive time to take your 10 hour rest break.
(9 hours x 50 mph = 450 miles)
Look at your atlas. You see that Emporia, KS is approximately 427 miles from Cactus
and you know that Love’s Travel Center is there this takes you 8.5 hours, so you set
that as your first rest stop on your trip.
You arrive at the truck stop in Emporia,
KS around 3:00 pm, you find a parking
spot and then, what do you do?
