    13 years in this industry , some people still think that .32-.36 CPM is a mint ! Until the pay scale is changed , and the cost of diesel reduced , we will work like slaves tied to the wheel . Some are paying more , but it has to go industry wide . I still think that the 8/10/5 rule was good , I don't need more than 10 in the sack .

    I dont mind delays since I get detention pay while dead asleep in my sleeper. I would like plenty of time to make it to the shipper.

    Not all of us are that lucky ... some owner ops/brokers keep a large chunk and toss a few crumbs to the driver ...... :biggrin_25510:

    the rule of the 34 hour reset include two periods of 1-5am is really dumb
    I enjoy running at night, no traffic and don't have to worry about finding a place to park in the early afternoon.
    This rule MAKES me screw up my sleeping schedule all the time to adjust.
    Now how "safe" is that?

    Be careful what you ask for, you just may get it. If Uncle Scam decides to modify the HOS regulations again do you really think there is a snowballs chance in hell they will make it better? Every time big gooberment gets its greedy paws involved in something they only make it worse, the more times they revisit the same subject, the worse they will make it. Remember, the opposite of progress is congress.

    Have to start somewhere and 500,000 signatures doesn't seem like alot, but then again if we as drivers just #####

    and moan to each other and do nothing about it, then we can only blame ourselves.

    Lots of posts on here about sitting around waiting to get unloaded! Seems like a perfect time to call a lameduck

    congressman and vent alittle. Just my 2 cents worth.Again IMO if you don't like the way things are then why

    complain here? Seems like the singing to the choir analogy.
     
    MCR6468 Thanks this.
