2. What is this activity about? You will be applying your knowledge of HOS in a logbook for multiple route scenarios. You will need to be as detailed as possible in your logbooks and written explanations. You will be given multiple scenarios where you will have to route a truck through at least 4 locations. One you have completed the routing, you will need to fill-in the nessacry logs that show HOS compliance.
3. Instructions Find the best route for the scenario given. Find your stopping points along each route, according to HOS regulations. Calculate times for sleeper berth, off duty, on duty non-driving, and driving for each stop. Please include gas/restroom/food stops and pre-trip inspections into your times. Fill-out a complete logbook for your trip. For example, if you have a 5 day run, you will need 5 days of time logs.
4. Instructions Continued Describe why you chose this route and any other important details that influenced your decisions. Feel free to create your own digital logbooks instead of the paper copies if you would prefer.
