Who gets 82 hours? I aleady work a 70 hour period. Day drivers can get a 16 in their week I know…done it but not 82. Sometimes I need to get going after 34…but Id like to know I get two nights. Hate to lose a load tho.
To all the paper-pushing, pencil-necked, no good desk jockeys at the FMCSA and the USDOT; I have many choice words about your worthless changes to the perfectly working Hours Of Service and your attempt to further regulate the industry from your desks all in the name of Safety (what a sham), but I will sum it all up with only two: STUFF IT!!! (I do not feel I should have to describe where your changes should be stuffed, I believe we all know that location!)
Lmfao, what a hoot they always blame the truck drivers, yet take no accountability for there themselves. Who am I referring too, haha the stupid people and there 4 wheelers who drive as fast as they can get away with. You people make me laugh there’s no common respect on the roadways yet discrimination against big trucks are everywhere
Reads like a common sense approach to a perceived traffic hazard. If the intent is to save both truck drivers lives along with the road public I am all for it. Also,it would be prudent and rational to see some statistics showing the number of truck accidents ONLY on selected highways in a given year, say interstates 80, 25, 90 and 75 as examples . Perhaps government agencies have already determined the percentages of those accidents that result from fatigue or sleep-deprivation per se. I know from investigation experience that law enforcement certainly automatically focuses on those causes plus drug involvement when investigating those crashes.
Of course, if drivers were paid better on a per mileage rate they would not have to drive as fast to meet income or customer goals set by them or the industry. Improper haste in fact does sometimes not only make waste, but also death.
And if someone hits him, he’s swcered they can try and sue you for not having it. Also it some places (I know here in Dallas TX) if you actually get pulled over and don’t have proof of insurance they can tow your car on the spot now. Don’t drive without insurance. Because chances are you won’t be the idiot that hits someone, the idiot will hit you. That’s just how life works.
