Modifies the sleeper berth exception to allow a driver to meet the 10-hour minimum off-duty requirement by spending at least 7 hours of that period in the berth combined with a minimum off-duty period of at least 2 hours spent inside or outside the berth, provided the two periods total at least 10 hours. When used together as specified, neither qualify period counts against the 14-hour driving window.

After shutting down for the day I open my 2 windows in the upper bunk and open my hood. Opening the hood will allow the engine to cool quicker because the heat can escape upward instead of being trapped and forced under the truck which makes the cab feel warmer for tge next couple of hours.

On tractor trailers, and APU is a small diesel engine that powers a heat and air conditioning unit while charging the truck's main batteries at the same time. This allows the driver to remain comfortable in the cab and have access to electric power without running the main truck engine.

Having an APU helps save money in fuel costs and saves wear and tear on the main engine, though they tend to be expensive to install and maintain. Therefore only a very small percentage of the trucks on the road today come equipped with an APU.

I don't open my windows in a truck stop at night. First and foremost, buy something to mitigate the heat coming through the windshield. I have both the fitted heat shields, AND the front window curtains. It stops the fishbowl effect. When I am getting ready to shut down, I run my truck ac at max, with the bunk ac at max while I'm putting the shield and curtains across.

Bill does have good advice about what to watch for, as far as noisy idle all night trucks. Since I pull a reefer AND have the APU , I'm one that you could avoid. I can't sleep without those sounds now though!

Fans are a good idea, just to keep it from being stale. If you can, Walmart has USB powered mini fans, and I would create a cross breeze through the top triangle windows, one pointing out on each side, this will create air flow out the top, and you could have two pointing in, on the bottom windows. You have to play with this to figure out what works best for your comfort.

I usually idle mine in summer months at night for the AC. In any event, mine has smart idle so it will idle as needed. I always run the ac on recirculating and make sure I have fresh cabin filters. I wont park next to old ones as well, don't open the windows as well.

Jay, I've been a rookie driver before. I think it's easy to be paranoid that we're doing something wrong based on mixed messages we've interpreted with our limited understanding of the trucking business/career.

Nobody at CFI is concerned with your idling if it's needed for your comfort and ability to get good rest. Excessive idling is never good, but there are certain times of the year that we need our trucks running all the time. You have to take care of yourself. That's a safety issue.

Do a great job. Be productive, efficient, and work well with the folks in the office. No one will ever be concerned with your truck idling when it's necessary. Great drivers are treated great. That's my formula for not having to breathe diesel fumes, and a few other truck parking lot odors.

Unfortunately, many drivers still aren't taking the proper precautions against UV rays, because they believe that UV rays can't penetrate window glass (some do and some don't), they've tinted their windows (which don't always protect against sun damage) and they wear sunglasses while behind the wheel (they may not have the right kind).

Finding that information is one of the goals of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Freight Lab. David Correll, MIT research scientist and co-director of the Freight Lab, believes truck drivers, dispatchers, and logistics managers all need to better utilize available time. Increased time spent driving, rather than waiting at a dock, means increased truck capacity, he said.

Since driving in snowy, icy and wet conditions requires extra awareness and skill, it's important to brush up on how to drive in winter weather. This year, consider these essential winter driving tips for truck drivers to stay safe on the road.

Defensive driving is one of the best ways to avoid accidents on slick roads. Remember, though, defensive driving sometimes means letting the driver who is in the wrong have the right-of-way. Make use of defensive driving this winter by:

We hope these trucking winter tips will help you prepare for and stay safe while driving this winter. Remember to scan your surroundings, make enough space for others and anticipate danger to stay safe on the road.

Schneider Guy loves the "Big Orange." He's passionate about the trucking industry and connecting people to rewarding careers within it. He's been the eyes and ears of our company since our founding in 1935, and he's excited to interact with prospective and current Schneider associates through "A Slice of Orange."

To stop this from happening to you, keep your windows rolled up as much as you can. What you lose in terms of fresh air, you gain in the ability to better hear the world around you. This is critical since many forms of hearing loss cannot be reversed.

One study found that when noise levels are above 90 decibels and you are exposed to carbon monoxide repeatedly over time (which many truck drivers are), you have significantly poorer hearing thresholds at higher frequencies. One explanation for this is that carbon monoxide exposure reduces oxygen in the blood, which increases the deterioration of inner ear sensory cells.

I'm not looking to get "sold" on the truck sim games exactly. I don't "get" it right now, but I'm trying it out, will try it out some more, and was interested to hear how fans of these games articulate their love for it.

So far the only thing I own is Euro Truck Simulator 2 and I've only been playing it (with a controller) for 4 hours - enough to do one quick job, explore the settings, interface, and gameplay options, get a loan from the bank, buy my first truck, and then do a few more jobs with my own truck. I get that there's a relaxing, zen-like quality to it, but I would be remiss if I didn't say that I could also see how it could be boring literally just driving 90% of the time.

And I've also been fighting with the gameplay a bit: I couldn't settle on a view. I like the view from inside the truck because it's realistic and I seem to be able to control my turns better. But I also like the 3rd person view where I can see the whole truck because I also get to see the surroundings. Also: Parking. Yikes. I seriously need to know how to do that better, especially the ones where you have to back into the parking slot. 2351a5e196
