Haven’t really mastered the spilt since I don’t do it often. Yesterday I drove 12 minutes from a truck stop to the shipper after completing a 10. Was there 3 hours…so great, I can do a 7 and get enough time to drive my entire route and chill near the receiver until Monday morning. Well, I drove 10 hours, parked at 8 this morning and set a 7 hour timer. Woke up to an awesome 12 minutes added to my drive clock. So now I have 1:12 to drive but am 4:34 from delivery. Looks like I’m sitting tight until tomorrow morning since leaving after 5pm would make parking a nightmare at my destination.
I guess in the past I hadn’t driven such a short distance so I always got a good amount of hours back. This is what my trainer was talking about when he said “you’ll have to do a spilt to understand it,” which I now do.
