I absolutly refuse to take a 10hr break 2hrs from the house. I run milk in the northwest region and it takes me about 16hrs to run my route. When I start my day I take a 3hr nap on the way to my first stop, I finish the route and take it to the house. I'm sorry but I just can't see having someone tell me when I'm tired and to take a break. I know there are lots of puppets that will say that the government knows best....and I will pray for you lol. I realize the reason for the regs but like I said unlike some I KNOW when I'm tired.

And I know this sounds random but think about it....if the government is really concerned about our safety they would make the sale of cigaretes illegal. Its been proven time and again that they WILL shorten your life. What's really funny is some of these same ones that preach running legal is the safe way are the same ones ya see puffin on those stinkin cigs.

and no I am not on EOBR and yes I use loose leaf logs because thats what the company provides.if you really think about it no matter how legal a person trys to run there is nobody who is 100% legal how many of us sit in a trkstp log off duty and sitting in the drivers seat thats not legal.

Lilbit....you gotta be kiddin me. Alcohol in moderation is NOT a risk to ones health....now remember I said MODERATION. Cigarettes are harmfull in any and all quantities, and I take it that you are one of those that choose to smoke. The point I was making is very simple....its a MONEY grab and little else. Kinda like the seatbelt thing as well....its mainly about money. Cigarettes are a HUGE tax revenue for the government so they allow the sale/use of it KNOWING you will most likely die from the use of it.

It's a personal choice while it's legal. It's been around for centuries too.
Seriously though, what happens when the government makes something YOU do illegal? -
Why haven't these names come up in this discussion?

CRASH
They are vocal special interest groups who specialize at tugging at heartstrings with inaccurate, distorted data that the general public(and lawmakers) can't get enough of.
Our society(in which reading is a rarity and video is rapidly becoming the norm) is highly susceptible to flashly soundbites and unsubstantiated claims.rocknroll nik and AfterShock Thank this. -
Lilbit it depends on what it is they decide to make illegal
