Exposing log book tricks

I thought that about 20 years ago myself.

Samo, samo.............

Nothing really new, lets see what this csa2010 brings to the table.

Perhaps eventually, it may help the driver................

 

The HOS rules are not about safety, they are about generating revenue for the state/province....

Personally i feel, that we dont need bunch of useless government 9 to 5 pencil pushing idiots dictating, when we should drive and when we should sleep just to justify their salary and existence.

As far as i'm concerned, there is no need for logboks...you should be able to drive when you're not tired and sleep when you are....
Anybody trying to tell you different has an agenda, dosent have your best interest in mind and dosen't have the motoring publics safety in mind either....

The DOT at the scale should focus their time and energy into making sure, that the equipment going down the road is mechanically safe and i have no problem with that....
They should stop harrasing those who are actually trying to work for a living with their idiotic HOS regulations ....

It all comes down to personal responsibility....if you too tired to drive you shouldn't be on the road.....if your boss or the shipper/reciever disagrees they can all go ###### themselves....you are the one in charge of the truck and the load...

If you chose to be on the road when you shouldn't and end up causing an accident, then you should be held accountable....

 

Hey Airlineguy, the HOS rules actually protected truckers when they first put them in effect. Companies would run the hell out of drivers without a care in the world if they had slept in a week or not. The HOS rules helped put the brakes on companies forcing drivers to do this. Back in the day you either had to run or they would find someone that would. Today it is a little more restrictive then it should be and keep in mind that its desk jockey bureaucrats who are making the rules now and have no clue what it is really like out there and what drivers have to accomplish under the strict guidelines to make a dime! For instance when I first started team drivers were allowed to run 5 on and 5 off. This was so perfect because no one can sit in that sleeper for 10hrs straight and are not allowed to sit in the passenger seat unless on duty. Laying in the back of that sleeper for 10 hrs straight actually makes it worse. You are just bouncing around back there instead of getting good rest.

 

Good list not sure about more then 1 log nowadays looseleaf all the way.bk on the
Old 8/10 rule I know guys that run three cough cough, not hard unless you hand over the wrong one
When inspected

 

I'm all for cheating and getting away with it... I just want to say THANKS to all those that got caught. Now we have too many regulations as govt reaction cause you killed a family in the course of getting caught. You're never gonna get it. You are half to blame for all the new regs. Until you can admit that too many bystanders have been killed, then you will keep crying that your a victim of said regs. What do you expect a policy maker to do? Sit back and just watch families get killed and do nothing? HALF of these regs are the direct result of idiots "cheating" with disasterous outcomes. Direct some of your frustrations at those cheaters in the name of accuracy.

 

I wrote "HALF". As in half responsible. I have bought in to the fact that families HAVE BEEN KILLED, while you believe that every trucker that ever drove is innocent. I am well aware we have the cards stacked against us, and innocent drivers get punished, and it sucks. But, your position that YOU describe is disgusting. Until you accept the fact that some of these laws were required, just to slow down the death rate, then you are guilt of perpetuating a position, an idea, a paradigm that is flawed and infectious with the very bile that infects log book cheaters who have killed innocent people.

 

Best thijng Drivers could do is:

Run 64 MPH Log and run legal. If we all did this companys would go crazy trying to figure a way to make these impossible appointments they make.

 

I wonder how many people have died as a result of the HOS telling drivers when they are supposed to be tired and when they're not....
If drivers cant stop the 14 hour clock to take a nap, they tend to push themselves, when they really should be getting their rest...
The idiot legislators should be jailed and/or sued en masse for trying to stick their corrupt, underworked and overpaid government noses into something they know nothing about....
