    Awesome man. Been following you for a while, I am looking to join Melton here. When you are waiting for loads like you were at the shipper, how does load time and securing time in with your 10 for the day? How do you know how to secure each load esp with something you haven't had before? And final question, when it comes to weather, when do you and how do you go about deciding to drive or not? Thanks man. Gotta get some water shoes for the unexpected fishing excursions man lol. Nice.

    • @ianelbert
      @ianelbert 12 дней назад

      @@Linknelson yeah I’ll have to add water shoes to my trail bag lol. As far as HOS for the day, your clock will stop counting down after 2hrs of off duty. So I stayed off duty the entire wait time at the shipper, until I started securing. That way I still had hours available to drive even past the regular 14hr work day, it’s called split logging. For securement on this particular load, melton has a securement handbook, and video to refer to because it can be especially tricky. And for the rain, it’s really up to feel and intuition. I didn’t feel confident driving in that rain so I stopped as soon as I could, especially considering I didn’t need to drive more to be on time
