I have done my fair share of being a commercial tourest be it being a owner operator or just a dumb company driver . This is the only job in the world that the min. you park your donkey behind the wheel you become a crimenal as anybody with a badge gun or knife can screw with ya . Ya have to be a New York lawer to even try and stay up with the laws and like others have said the companys will run ya to death and as far away form home as they can send ya plus keep ya out there . Way back when it was still fun and ya did not run yourself to death we thought that if ya ran a 100000 miles a year you were working way to hard well that all changed back in the mid 80's and if ya look at used trucks today given there age they are avg. 200000 miles a year and better . Now by the law you are only suppose to drive for 11 hours and if ya can avg. 52 MPH that only 572 miles a day so you do the math on how many hours a day that ya are realy driven to cover 200000 miles a year. Sure don't leave much home time .
