Spatial Awareness Trivia Exam Quiz!

Drivers know their own logs and capabilities better than anyone else.

Acceptable answers are location, or geography.

All of these are primary considerations, in addition to events such as weather or traffic.

At 50 mph, this driver requires 2.4 hours to reach his destination. The correct answer is to call the receiver to see if they have a half hour flexibility in receiving their freight.

All of the above. You must understand the issue and know who to talk to so that you can start creating options.

The answer "No" suggests that the load will not be able to deliver on time.

Use 50 mph when calculating the average speed of a tractor-trailer.

150 miles divided by 50 mph = 3 hours.

Hours-of-service (HOS) can be complex.  This link below to the FMCSA website describes the HOS completely, and would be very helpful to review.  No one knows their capabilities as impacted by HOS rules better than the driver: 

Based on the information provided, the answer "No" suggests that the load will not deliver on time. However, without any additional context or details about the specific load, it is difficult to provide a more detailed explanation.

300 miles divided by 50 mph = 6 hours

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulates HOS (Hours of Service) for drivers. This agency is responsible for developing and enforcing regulations that ensure the safety of commercial motor vehicle operations in the United States. They establish rules regarding the number of hours that drivers can be on duty and behind the wheel to prevent driver fatigue and promote road safety.

450 miles divided by 50 mph = 9 hours.

"Where" relates to location. Location is the correct answer.

The statement is false because the time spent by the driver being loaded at the shipper does count against his Hours of Service/driving time. This means that the time spent on loading at the shipper is considered as part of the driver's working hours and is subject to regulations regarding maximum driving time and mandatory rest periods.

When you encounter an exception, start creating options. See where you have some flexibility, know what things you cannot change, know who you need to communicate with. Create options.

700 miles divided by 50 mph, divided by eleven drivable daily hours gives a result of more than one day, so the best answer is two days.

Based on the given information, the answer "No" suggests that the driver will not be able to deliver on time. However, without any additional context or details about the check call or the driver's situation, it is difficult to provide a more specific explanation.

No one has better knowledge as it regards delivery capabilities (including HOS) than the driver.

After the check call at 6/29 15:15, the question is asking for the number of hours of driving left. To find this, we need to subtract the time of the check call from 24 hours (a full day). Since the check call is at 15:15, we can subtract this from 24:00 to get the remaining time. 24:00 - 15:15 = 8 hours and 45 minutes. Therefore, the correct answer is 28 hours.

Clear understanding and the ability to think critically are the results of good listening skills, and good communication. These cannot be replaced.

2334 miles divided by 50 mph divided by 11 hours that can be driven within any 14 hour period.

Do not rely on the dispatcher. The driver has the best understanding of his capabilities and his Hours-of-Service.

80 miles divided by 50 mph = 1.6 hours. Best answer is 10:30 am.

Listening requires concentration. Listen to understand. Acceptable answers would be concentration, and focus.

A route to a destination refers to navigation. Navigation is the correct answer.

1654 miles from next stop divided by 50 mph results in 33 hours of driving remaining in transit.

It is critical to identify as early as possible potential problems so that you can derail them, minimize them, or be able to identify options and solutions, and know who to present those options to.

Barometric pressure is not a factor; it does relate to weather, but is not yet an actual weather event and does not affect road travel.

180 miles divided by 50 mph = 3.6 hours. Best answer is 12:00 pm.

Time is the correct answer.

The given answer "Yes" suggests that the load will be delivered on time. However, without any additional context or information provided, it is difficult to determine the reasoning behind this answer. It could be based on factors such as the efficiency of the delivery system, the availability of resources, or previous experience with similar situations.

Based on the given information, it can be inferred that the check call was made at 9:14. Since the question does not provide any information about the start time of driving, it is not possible to determine the exact number of hours of driving that have already been completed. However, if we assume that the driving started at 6:00, then by 9:14, 3 hours and 14 minutes have passed. Since the question asks for the remaining hours of driving, we subtract this time from a full 24-hour day. Therefore, 24 - 3 - 14/60 = 20 - 14/60 = 19 hours and 46 minutes of driving remain. However, this does not match any of the given answer choices, so the correct answer remains unexplained.

949 miles divided by 50 mph average speed divided by 11 hours driven per day = 1.72 days. The best answer is 2 days.

Traffic & weather are events which can impact transit. The correct answer is events.

Proximity relates to distance; proximity is the correct answer.

180 miles divided by 50 mph = 3.6 hours, 3 1/2 hours is the best answer

The correct answer is check call screen and Distance calculator/PC Miler. The check call screen is a tool used to track the progress and location of a shipment in real-time. It allows us to input the current location and receive updates on the estimated time of arrival (ETA). The Distance calculator/PC Miler is a software program specifically designed for calculating distances and routes for transportation purposes. It takes into account various factors such as road conditions, traffic, and specific trucking regulations to provide accurate distance calculations and ETA predictions.

Based on the given information, it can be inferred that the check call was made on 6/29 at 10:41. Therefore, the question is asking how many hours of driving remain from that point. Since the check call was made at 10:41, it can be assumed that the driving hours for that day have not yet been completed. Hence, the correct answer is 19, indicating that there are 19 hours of driving remaining.

The correct answer is 13. This implies that there are 13 hours of driving remaining from the last check call.

All company calculations are based on PC Miler practical miles which is most appropriate for the tractor trailer. We rely on the Distance calculator (fed by PC Miler) and the check call screen within the app.

All of these calculators have variants, ie; household goods, etc., and people use what is advantageous to them.

We use the Distance Calculator and the check call screen.

The answer is none of the above. This driver has no hours left. Time spent waiting to be loaded counts against drivable hours.

You do not know how many hours the driver has already exhausted, so you do not have the information required to answer this question.

Proximity relates to distance; proximity is the correct answer.
