Even if I could go out with a regular veteran driver for one night that would be huge you could probably learn so much in a 12 hour shift probably way more than you would been out with a suit for 2 1/2 weeks

No such thing as a rolling reset.
There is a rolling 7, working without resetting hours of service. In other words, not taking 34 hours off.
I have done it during peak. You just need to keep track of your hours and don't go over 60 in a 7 day period.
Worked 4 weeks without a 34 hour reset.

I guess a rolling reset could mean that you never reset, that you keep on rolling.
It is also referred to as a rolling 60.
If you work 7 straight days, the hours from the first day worked fall off once you start on day 8. So theoretically, you could work 7 days a week for unlimited weeks at a time without ever having to do a 34 hour reset.
You just cannot go over 60 hours in a 7 day period.

Thought you had to have 34 off...

I'm into distribution!!
34 just resets your hours to zero. You could run forevor as long as you don't go over 60 hours in 7 days. It's the same in a package car.

8 hr shifts means you could go on forever without a reset. 8 hr day for most feeder drivers would feel like a half day.

I haven't worked under an 11 hour day since going into feeders three years ago.

when the weather was bad in the winter I would sometimes take Mondays off because I knew a lot of drivers would not have hours to work friday night. you get 3-4 snow nights in a row for 14 each and a 16 and you are all done in 4 days.
the boss asked me why I called out on Mondays and I tried to explain but he would have none of it . He told me we need drivers on Mondays too and let us worry about Fridays.
OK , it's your party , boss.

In my building, they look at you like scum of the earth if you don't work 14 every day. I understand and occasional long day for holiday weeks or unforseen circumstances, but sometimes they are relentless

"Don't go over 60 in 7 a day period." Lol. I have a hard staying under 60 in 5 days.

we have had shifters work 80 hours a week during peak.

In my neck of the woods, there are a lot of 8 hour shift jobs. No OT except during peak.
I was stuck on one for awhile. That is why I worked a peak without ever resetting. Needed some extra Christmas money.
The difference between a 40 hour work week and a 60 hour work week, besides the hours, is about $50K.

Sleeper teams are paid by mileage. So technically you aren't on the clock while in berth.

If you have enough on duty time, then yes you will. For example your second punch will come sooner than mine, since each of my punches come once every 24 hours. You can get yours as soon as your co-driver runs out of drive time (11hours). Your on duty time is reduced in a sleeper thus leaving you hours for a 6th and possibly a 7th punch
