I had to do that onceJust hook them straps ta what yer pullin' and sumthin' stout... then hit th' gas. That'll take care of it!
Went to deliver a mower deck that mounted on a 3-point to a house. Sum'bitchin crate weighed 2000 lbs and I couldnt move it, let alone rassle it off the truck on a liftgate
Said to the homeowner only way this is happenin is if you call Joe Schmoe's towing around the corner and have em send a rollback. Lady said **** that. So I took a quick looksee around, spied a good strong tree and a length of rope... and said no prob I got a plan, sign here please.
Got a automograph.... the lil lady went back inside. I backed up to the tree, tied one end of the rope around it, the other end to the crate, jumped back in the truck and sank spur
Dayum what a helluva noise that was
Folks need to think before they shop on the interwebz

Last time you checked you weren't on my pay schedule. It's not straight mileage like OTR.
Even so it sucked to work that hard. So I didn't do it long.

It starts the same time the Cdn hours do. Except I drove overnight and some during the day, had a few hours off, only because I couldn't stay awake any longer. The 10 off to cross the border will put me back on days and not nights.

You're over your American 70 but not the Canadian one? That one has bit me in the ass a lot. Also that about having a day off every 14 when I had bounced around the states a while on recaps then came back over the border

70 on-duty hours are calculated the same way for any CDL holder. Unless of course, you're logging illegally.
