Driving a semi-truck involves a lot of math on a daily basis. Calculating how many miles the trip is and how much time you have to get there, the hours on duty for the day, and the total hours on duty for the week. There is also the weight of the load versus the weight distribution on the trailer tandems for different states' bridge laws. Then there is the bookkeeping end of it, which includes how many cents per mile the driver is paid and any reimbursements for the trip. If the driver is an owner/operator, there is even more math involved with the bookkeeping. Taxes, fuel, maintenance and/or repairs, any unloading fees and any broker fees. This is just a small part to keep the driver within the laws and regulations, and for everyone involved to be paid.
